(An updated version of the original novel + bonus chapter.) Mori Kiskolu is a simple farm boy living an ordinary life with his family in a small country called Tanakosk. Being the underdog at school and having a rocky relationship with his family, every day is rough, and yet the quiet peace that resides throughout the land is more than just boring to him. Soon, however, the repetitive cycle of life is shattered when the people are plagued by a terrible disease and famine. Albira the Dawnwolf, a guardian of Tanakosk who rises with the dawn each morning to awaken her people and watch over them, is unjustly put to blame, but Mori is not convinced; once his family is afflicted, he makes the astounding decision to stand up and find a way to obtain the cure, believing that somehow the Dawnwolf can help them, but the journey he embarks on is one that will change his life forever.
