In an alternate Oriental past, Lord Ming's hatred for all youkai - the mischievous, enigmatic spirits of the forest - has bred a plan for revenge and a secret machine army to enforce it. But first he must convince the people of Nihan that their ancient allies have become deadly enemies. Not so easy: especially when Shao, his half-human assassin and spy, learns that his target is the Fox Queen's enchantingly beautiful grandson, Komori. Finding his first love and first chance for freedom in a new world, Shao longs to remain, but what is his master's real plan? Can he save both his own life and Komori's? Or will Komori regret the day he brought a half-human into his Grandmother's sacred forest? The Assassin's Flute is a steampunk fantasy, a supernatural boys' love romance, and a magical adventure into the mythology of a long-ago future.

The first arc of the Shinoda Monogatari concludes as Takeda Tsukiryuu, the incarnation of his family's guardian dragon, learns the truth about the schemes of the oni Lord Yen, and sets out to face his enemy and his own inner darkness with the help of the kitsune of Shinoda Forest.

The mecha invasion of Shinoda Forest was thwarted by the Fox Queen's army and the sacrifice of brave souls both human and youkai. But though peace reigns, an old enemy's plans are revealed. The Fox Queen gathers her forces - the kitsune prince Komori, his half-human/half neko true love Shao, Shao's brother Yue, and the dragon samurai Tsukiryuu - to mount an assault on the palace of Lord Yen and rescue captives held for three hundred years. Meanshile, Lady Songsoon, now Mistress of Kimeji, struggles to establish herself as ruler and erase the evil powers raised by the mecha master, Lord Ming. What shadowy forces will they face, what old hatreds will they have to overcome, and what will they need to find within themselves?
