Synopses & Reviews
When Mitsukos village is attacked by outlaws and her beloved sisters husband is murdered, she alone finds the courage to venture into the netherworld to find her sisters wandering spirit. With the aid of a shape-shifter and other magical creatures from Japanese myths, Mitsuko journeys across a landscape transformed by legend and by her own growing sense of power to become an unwitting hero. “A readable, engagingly semiserious adventure.”-Kirkus Reviews
