Volume I - 1909

Jia Shirong - Beautiful, deadly, and calculating, Shirong isn’t exactly a dragon lady, but she isn’t exactly not, either. There’s certainly something otherworldly or celestial about her, since as a medium her forte is dealing with and occasionally commanding the dead. A serious collector of knowledge and rarities, Shirong already possesses 2 of Ziggurat’s 5 bolts by the time the story starts, and she is bent on using her unconventional contacts to help acquire the other 3 and ultimately Ziggurat himself.
