Ori Kagami escorted the named elder brother to his final journey and accepted from him a great responsibility – the bond with Makina Hosimura, the "Princess of the Undead," which, as it turned out, was not unfamiliar to both brothers. To officially recognize the pact he had to join the Buddhist Kogon order and begin a difficult training, while Makina meanwhile battles demons of the past, unwilling to reconcile with the departure of her partner and mentor. No one can help her – Ori is far away, and although the monks do the right thing, they themselves are unfortunately not saints; intrigue, careerism, and intolerance thrive in the order, which only benefits his enemies. And the enemies are already close – the group "Great Bear," having gathered the strongest representatives of the unclean, has entered into an alliance with the deserter Akasha and is preparing a decisive strike on the enemy"s main temple. Will the monks find the strength to abandon their quarrels and unite in the face of danger? Will Kagami manage to master potentially enormous spiritual power? Can Makina trust a new partner and settle the score with the unclean for the murder of her family? The answers will be given by "Black Chronicle"!
