Synopsis for Koukyuu no Karasu

In the depths of the inner palace lives a special consort who does not serve the emperor despite her position as a consort. She is known as the Raven Consort. People who have seen her say that she looks like an old woman, while others say that she looks like a young girl. Her stories tell of her use of her mysterious arts, and how she can take on any request, be it death curses or finding lost things. Koushun, the current emperor, goes to visit the Crow Consort with that intention. Not knowing that her fateful encounter will become a taboo that will turn history upside down.
