Nobunaga Shimazaki

Eli isn't the only bookworm in her family. In fact, the bookishness of the Bernsteins is well known to the royal family - and particularly to the Crown Prince.

What's more attractive: a man with a handsome face, or a man who owns a library? The Crown Prince has both, but avid reader Eli prefers books over beauty, no contest!

Eli draws attention to herself when she comes to the defense of Lady Anna in the library. And without Christopher, she may have found herself in a ghost story.

The Star of Sissel only visits once every three years, and Prince Christopher is determined to accompany Eli to meet this band of nomadic scholars. But mischief is afoot...

While Christopher attends to far-flung royal duties, Eli must navigate life at the palace by herself. Christopher makes it look effortless. For Eli, it's anything but easy.

An apparently harmless prank takes a deadly turn when Eli and Lord Irvin find themselves surrounded by unexpected enemies in the darkness of the old castle.

One night, a quiet invasion takes place. Across the world, mysterious parasites fall to earth and begin possessing humans one by one with the rest of humanity none the wiser. Shinichi Izumi is one such victim. But when his would-be invader fails to take over his brain and takes root in his arm, instead, Shinichi finds himself forced to share his body with a horrific creature that has a mind and an agenda all its own.
