Before his birth, Shikamaru is foretold to be taken by the barasingha, a clan of deer-monsters who ensnare young travellers and devour their souls. His parents kept him away from the dangers, trapping him inside at night and in a loveless betrothal, but Shikamaru has secrets of his own. On one such night expedition, a young barasingha saves him from being gored by a boar and from then on, nothing can stop the fated events from unravelling.
