Hana's had her hands full. She's keeping her husband's advances at bay, sent a terrorist organization packing, saved the school from destruction, and rescued her twin sister from the clutches of their terrible parents! At this point, flying under the radar is simply impossible. News about her has spread far and wide, finally reaching the ears of an Obsidian rank practitioner named Yukizasa Sankourou. He's an old friend of Saku's and is vehemently opposed to his buddy's marriage to Hana. He won't stop at just voicing his opinions either, he's willing to meddle and he's not above teaming up with the Ichise parents in their continued efforts to get Hana out of the picture.

"Hana has kept her recently emerged powers a secret from her condescending family. However, the new head of the clan, the beautiful and powerful Saku Ichinomiya, makes Hana into his bride to help strengthen the barrier of a pillar that protects Japan. Now, Hana's powers are being tested by Saku's family, and she's even met with harassment at school!"--

Ruri Morikawa is now spending her days in peace with Jade in the Nation of the Dragon King... That is, until they receive word that Emperor Adularia has fallen ill and requires a panacea made from dragon blood. Jade readily sends the elixir, but it proves to be ineffective. Adularia's condition only worsens, and curiously, her symptoms bear an uncanny resemblance to the illness that took the life of Quartz's mate, Seraphie. What could it mean?

"For thousands of years, Japan has been protected by five clans wielding barrier-weaving magic. Born to a branch family of one such clan, eighteen-year-old Hana has always been stuck in the shadow of her more capable, beautiful, and popular twin sister. When a strong power awakens within Hana, she chooses to hide it so she can continue living a quiet life out of the spotlight. But that ideal lifestyle begins to slip out of reach when Saku Ichinomiya takes over as the new head of the Ichinomiya clan and sets out to find a bride strong enough to stand by his side. Eager to keep her abilities secret, Hana steers clear of Saku... but will she be tempted to sign a marriage contract if it guarantees the peaceful, quiet future of her dreams?"--Provided by publisher.
