Brief summary: Setsuna Mudou already knows he leads a cursed life—his parents hate him, strange events seem to happen all around him, and the only good thing in his life is also his greatest torment: he’s deeply, desperately in love with his younger sister, Sara. Little does he know, his soul is holding a secret, and the forces of Heaven and Hell are suddenly coalescing around him, eager to return to a war that started thousands of years ago.
