Her name is Monko. A solitary crow, a wandering soul, a magnificent traveler who roams the roads that are inhabited by bloodthirsty bandits and attractive young people, some of whom are one and the same. At the heart of this wild hinterland where dangerous creatures arise, Monko follows the path she has taken. Despite her devotion to the way of the sword, it is not the Warriors path she chose to pursue. In spite of her intelligence, she does not seek Wisdom either.

Indeed, the quest she pursues is to find the perfect husband. Her path is the way of Love.

Eldura is a city-state surrounded by clouds and steep cliffs; flying is forbidden, and is generally considered a crime.

Knit is a spirited little boy with no family whose dream is soaring across the beautiful blue sky he admires every day. One day, a man called Shark crashes to the city on a flying creature called a Lindbergh. Lindberghs are wingless dragons that can kick the air, but for flying they need man-made wings.

Shark tells Knit that his pet, Plamo, is a Lindbergh too, and that outside Eldura all sorts of people fly with their own ones. But the outside world turns out to be even more different than Knit could have ever imagined.
