Reiko has returned to Japan ... now she has to defend it with her life!
Moving back to modern Tokyo after growing up in the USA, 17-year-old Reiko expected exam stress and outdated customs. Making good grades and fitting in seem less important when ancient mythology comes to life around her. Are these shadowy creatures lurking in her school and in the streets really the Yokai from the old stories?
Why won’t her family or the teachers believe her?
She’s going to need help.
Reiko convinces her small circle of friends to join her, and with their limited resources, they start to investigate. They learn that the creatures are at war with each other, and both sides are plotting to steal the Sanshu no Jingi - Japan's mysterious Imperial Treasures, the Sword, Mirror, and Jewel, which are not the harmless artifacts they seem.
Reiko and her friends soon realize that they are in over their heads, but it's too late to back out. The Yokai have noticed them, and will not tolerate their interference.
In the shadow war breaking out in the streets, the subway tunnels and skyscrapers, the whole of Tokyo could be destroyed in the conflict.
This Science Fantasy version of modern Japan will keep you turning the pages with its blend of history, culture, technology, and magic. Scroll up to click and buy!
