Demons of Japanese myth lurk in Chiyoko Hollow, and if they aren't stopped soon, the magic of the lands will be twisted beyond salvation.
Akari Tanaka is Sword Kissed, a human born with the power to harness magic through her katana. Her duty is to keep the residents-fae and human alike-safe from the increasingly dangerous demons that haunt Chiyoko Hollow. When people across Chiyoko begin disappearing, Akari is determined to find them-but so is half-fae warrior Takeo, who prefers to work alone.
As the bodies of the missing start turning up, drained of their life force, Akari realizes that they aren't dealing with just any twisted demon. Now her sensei is missing, her sister has been spirited away, and her childhood rival has united with a demon of smoke and ash. But with their list of enemies growing longer and their allies shorter, if Akari and Takeo can't learn to work together, the evil that threatens their world will prevail. And once that happens, there's no turning back.
Strong, consistent sales.
Akari Tanaka braced as the impact from the katana reverberated through her body. She looked up at her opponent, Endo Ryo, and saw the smirk on her face. Akari gripped her sword and pushed up on her elbows, readying to take Endo down, but Endo’s face hardened and she took another step forward.
Akari quickly rolled away as Endo swung at her. Akari flipped over and launched to her feet. She ran her sword over her hand, slicing open her flesh and causing her blade to glow with a blue aura. Her hand almost instantly healed before she was even able to tighten her grip.
Endo laughed. “What are you doing? I’m not a demon. That won’t help you here.”
She may have been right, but training to kill demons was Akari’s job, so she preferred to treat the training sessions as realistic as possible. Besides, imagining Endo as a demon wasn’t that much of a stretch of the imagination. The two had been rivals since they were girls.
The glowing sword gave Akari the confidence boost she needed. She gritted her teeth and rubbed the ball of her foot on the mat as she prepared to attack.
“Hold,” Sera calmly said as she stepped into the practice arena. Everyone except Akari lowered their swords and stepped aside. Akari grunted in frustration.
“I can do it, Sensei,” Akari said as she tightened her grip even more and glared at Endo.
