Niehime to Kemono no Ou
In the faraway Kingdom of Ozmargo, home to a variety of beasts, a mysterious king without a name rules over all. Following a century-long conflict with a neighboring human realm, a fragile peace is maintained through a solemn pact: an annual sacrifice is sent to satisfy the king's hunger on the night of revelation. Sariphi, the 99th sacrifice, lacks fear for the king and lacks ties to a family or a home. Intrigued by her boldness, the king allows Sariphi freedom within his palace, much to the chagrin of his advisor, Anubis. As their bond deepens, the looming night of revelation threatens their fragile connection. Unforeseen events set in motion on this pivotal night will alter the destinies of Sariphi, the enigmatic king, and the very fabric of their realms.
