What this book is about
Yumi is a yoki-hijo—a sacred spirit-summoner in a world dependent on her gift. Painter creates art to banish nightmares in a city of endless fog. When they inexplicably find themselves sharing each other's lives, they must unravel why. Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere novella is romance-forward and charming—lighter and warmer than most of his work.
