Ember and Salt

Aelita is a hearth spirit who has spent eighty years in Kyoto without a hearth to call her own. Then she sees a pair of familiar green eyes in a crowded market and follows them home. Ren Kuroyo has a restaurant, a stubborn sense of order, and no intention of adopting a stray. Kyoto has rules for spirits, strays and almost everything else. Love is less well regulated.
