Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon and debut authors Hinako and Madaug Hishinuma comes a middle-grade fantasy adventure unlike any other, where demons rub shoulders with gods and one boy must learn to control his power before it's too late.

Banished, isolated, and hunted for a destiny he doesn't understand, Ryuichi must learn to master the powers he inherited from his mother in order to protect the sacred gates that separate the mortal world from the realm of demons. If he doesn't, kami, ykai, and demons who are determined to make humanity suffer will flood the human realm.

No one can be trusted. Not even his own guardian ... And here he thought puberty was the worst thing to threaten his sanity.

If he's going to survive, Ryuichi must figure out who his real allies are--and who wants him dead. He'll learn that sometimes things have to go wrong in order to go right, and to overcome evil, you might have to bend the rules--and believe in people others tell you not to trust.

Author Bio

Defying all odds is what #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Sherrilyn McQueen writing as Sherrilyn Kenyon does best. Rising from extreme poverty as a child that culminated in being a homeless mother with an infant, she has become one of the most popular and influential authors in the world (in both adult and YA fiction), with dedicated legions of fans known as Paladins-thousands of whom proudly sport tattoos from her numerous genre-defying series. Since her first book debuted while she was still in college, she has placed more than 80 novels on the New York Times list in all formats and genres, including manga and graphic novels, and has more than 70 million books in print worldwide. Her current series include: Dark-Hunters(R), Chronicles of Nick(R), Deadman's Cross(TM), Eve of Destruction(TM), Nevermore(TM), Lords of Avalon(R) and The League(R). Over the years, her Lords of Avalon(R) novels have been adapted by Marvel, and her Dark-Hunters(R) and Chronicles of Nick(R) are New York Times bestselling manga and comics and are #1 bestselling adult coloring books. Madaug Hishinuma, intense gamer, former Japanese teacher, and current mastermind of all-around mayhem, first started writing in grade school ... on his mother's walls. Deciding that near-death experiences weren't exactly his thing, he traded his crayons for a computer, and once he broke away from his severe gaming addiction, he realized that his keyboard could also be used to create his own worlds. He's been doing that ever since. He currently lives in Georgia with his wife, two sons, and dog that doubles as a pony. Hinako Hishinuma was born in Japan and spent her college years volunteering to help underprivileged children in the Philippines and working to improve farming with nonchemical fertilizers in Indonesia. She studied Kendo for sixteen years and participated in national tournaments where she became the number-two champion for all of Japan. A licensed teacher for middle and high school students, she loves reading, origami, and calligraphy. She currently lives in the US with her husband and two sons, and a hound dog that doubles as her sons' pony. Brian Nishii is a voice talent and award-winning audiobook narrator.
