内容説明
In the land of Toyoashihara, the forces of the God of Light and the Goddess of Darkness have waged war for generations. But for 15-year old Saya, the war is far away and unimportant--until the day she discovers she is the reincarnation of the Water Maiden and a princess of the Children of the Dark. Raised to love the Light and detest the Dark, Saya must come to terms with her heritage even as she is tumbled into the very heart of the conflict that is destroying her country. Both the army of the Light and Dark seek to claim her, for she is the only mortal who can awaken the legendary Dragon Sword, the weapon destined to end the war. Can Saya make the dreadful choice between the Light and Dark, or is she doomed like all the Water Maidens who have come before her?
From Publishers Weekly
An epic battle rages throughout the land of Toyoashihara, pitting the invading forces of the God of Light and the indigenous forces of the Goddess of Darkness in this masterful first novel from Japan. Immortal demigods representing Light fight the Goddess's band of endlessly reincarnated mortals. As the story opens, Saya, a 15-year-old whose adoptive parents have raised her to worship the Light, discovers that she is the reincarnation of the Water Maiden and therefore a leader of the Children of Darkness. She must travel to the very heart of the lands ruled by the Children of Light and retake the Dragon Sword, a mighty, magical weapon stolen from the Children of Darkness many years before. Then she must tame the destructive power of the Sword and help bring the war to an end. To accomplish these tasks--Saya has failed over and over again in previous lifetimes--she must master her own fear and hatred, and develop her ability to love and forgive. Drawing on Shinto mythology, Ogiwara crafts a complex, action-packed novel with dizzying plot twists and breathtaking fantasy sequences as well as gentle, emotionally charged scenes. Psychologically truthful and abundantly inventive. Ages 12-up.

A beautifully written story about a girl who was raised in a village with no memory of her past. Plagued by dreams and visions, Saya tries to fit in with the other villagers despite her oddness.
Yet nothing is as it seems. Having been raised to believe in the perfection and majesty of the Prince and Princess of light, Saya never thought to question the common knowledge that things of darkness were evil and perverse. One day Saya finds herself confronted by a group of strangers who put all that she has ever believed into question.
Is she the reincarnation of the water maiden? What is the dragon sword, and who is to wield it? And who is the strange shape-shifter that no one seems to notice except her?
(My favourite character is Torihiko, hands down. If you want to find out why, then read the book.) :)
* One of the lovely things about this story is that nothing quite happens the way you expect it to. *
