Saya appears to be a normal, clumsy schoolgirl and shrine maiden in a small town. But unbeknownst to anyone but her father, the priest, she's really a vicious warrior who fights Elder Bairns--monsters that can only be destroyed by Saya's sacred blade.

The baker has gone missing under mysterious circumstances, leaving everyone a little on edge. Saya has bigger problems to deal with, though--namely a shape-shifting Elder Bairn with a cryptic message for the young shrine maiden.
