Life is hard in Rainshadow City, a place where poverty and corruption are rife and where inhabitants are terrorized by an underground criminal organisation known as the Lucky Crows. Toshiko, Jun and Mei Kawakami are family, bonded through loyalty if not by blood. They live outside the city's increasingly corrupt law, and are seeking revenge on the Lucky Crows for the murder of their beloved 'aunt' Reiko. Haru is the son of the Emperor, destined to one day rule over the whole Rainshadow Archipelago and uphold his mother's ignoble legacy. Currently however, he seems more interested in making friends with magical Sun Spirits that only he can see. Theo, forced to leave his homeland, is a reluctant foot-soldier for the Lucky Crows. He doesn't want to be a gangster, but as an illegal immigrant to the city, his choices are limited. When Toshiko steals a dragon pearl, she begins an adventure to determine the future of Rainshadow City.
