Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A haunted empire. A wicked sorcerer on the rise. Three teenagers stand between a generation of peace and the creatures of myth seeking retribution for a dark past… In the shadow of the fallen Warlock Empire, twins Hidekazu and Masanori thrive on tales of their ancestors’ wyvern-slaying, of the wars preceding Seiryuu’s first era of peace in over a thousand years. But as the Dragon Goddess’ influence wanes, her greatest enemies return. The sorcerer who kidnaps women for a sinister purpose is only the first of many to arrive. The warrior arts previously forbidden to Hidekazu and Masanori won’t be enough to stop the wyverns, dragons, and mythical spirits rising in search of retribution. Nor will working with the future empress, their adopted sister, who steers Seiryuu's future from within the palace—and from the head of the battlefield. Their enemies seek justice not only for the crimes of the Goddess and the Warlock Empire, but also for the sins of Hidekazu and Masanori’s very own clan. Secrets run in their blood. Facing the tide of war means overcoming the Warlock Empire’s grim history… and the darkness within themselves. Jump into the world of Yumihari, a land filled with spirits, dragons, monsters, and stunning characters wielding elemental magic to save their homeland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Revised and expanded, this second edition of The Book of Yōkai features an all new yōkai picture gallery-with dozens of stunning color images-tracing the visual history of yōkai across centuries. With additional entries and fifty new illustrations, Michael Dylan Foster unpacks the history and cultural context of an even larger cast of yōkai, interpreting their varied meanings and introducing people who have pursued them through the ages. Monsters, spirits, fantastic beings, and supernatural creatures haunt the folklore and popular culture of Japan. Broadly labeled yōkai, they appear in many forms, from tengu mountain goblins and kappa water sprites, to shape-shifting kitsune foxes and long-tongued ceiling-lickers. Popular today in anime, manga, film, and video games, many yōkai originated in local legends, folktales, and regional ghost stories. The Book of Yōkai invites readers to examine how people create, transmit, and collect folklore, and how they make sense of the mysteries in the world around them"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every dream requires sacrifice. Once a land blessed by dragons and gods, Seiryuu now relies on elite warriors capable of ripping seismic energy from the earth and shaping infernos for protection against a demonic infestation. Genshu Masanori, an ingenious engineer at only seventeen, could revolutionize the art of war—if his pacifist clan allowed him to train as a warrior. When Masanori and his twin brother, Hidekazu, witness a kidnapping at the Midsummer festival, Masanori has a chance to prove himself. But the sorcerer responsible defies nature and twists the elements into an unpredictable, terrible power. If Hidekazu—the scion of the Genshu clan, a master over four elements—can’t touch the sorcerer, how could Masanori? After the twins’ attempt to rescue a victim goes horribly wrong, Hidekazu and Masanori sign their lives away to the prestigious Tsukiko Academy. In doing so, they break their vows of filial piety, challenge their sibling bond, and ignore the future empress’ warnings about the headmaster and the dark secrets harboured within the school grounds… The sorcerer drags them into an ancient rivalry between gods. Yumihari teeters on the brink of war, and if the twins do nothing, Seiryuu won’t be in the middle—they will be the target. For fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Ursula K. LeGuin’s Earthsea Cycle, the world of Yumihari is fraught with monsters, mythology, and epic quests. BUY NOW and jump into the adventure today!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese folklore abounds with bizarre creatures collectively referred to as the yokai ― the ancestors of the monsters populating Japanese film, literature, manga, and anime. Artist Toriyama Sekien (1712–88) was the first to compile illustrated encyclopedias detailing the appearances and habits of these creepy-crawlies from myth and folklore. Ever since their debut over two centuries ago, the encyclopedias have inspired generations of Japanese artists. Japandemonium Illustrated represents the very first time they have ever been available in English. This historically groundbreaking compilation includes complete translations of all four of Sekien's yokai masterworks: the 1776 Gazu Hyakki Yagyō (The Illustrated Demon Horde's Night Parade), the 1779 Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki (The Illustrated Demon Horde from Past and Present, Continued), the 1781 Konjaku Hyakki Shū (More of the Demon Horde from Past and Present), and the 1784 Hyakki Tsurezure Bukuro (A Horde of Haunted Housewares). The collection is complemented by a detailed introduction and helpful annotations for modern-day readers.
