In the mist-shrouded forest villages of a mythic realm drawn from the echoes of pre-Sengoku Japan, Emika—a Reitsumeyoke, or "dispeller of sugami"—bears the sacred Reikyo talismans to slay the twisted gods warped by envy and ravenous for worship. Yet when the voice of the mountain god falls silent and the protective wards begin to crumble, the sugami rise in fury, threatening to drown the land in divine wrath... moreIn the mist-shrouded forest villages of a mythic realm drawn from the echoes of pre-Sengoku Japan, Emika—a Reitsumeyoke, or "dispeller of sugami"—bears the sacred Reikyo talismans to slay the twisted gods warped by envy and ravenous for worship. Yet when the voice of the mountain god falls silent and the protective wards begin to crumble, the sugami rise in fury, threatening to drown the land in divine wrath. Bound by duty and desperation, Emika is joined by her childhood friend Mu, a minor god shackled by curses and secrets. Together, they enter a perilous game among the divine—a treacherous web of betrayal, forgotten truths, and celestial manipulation. As gods move mortals like pieces on a board, every choice Emika makes risks shattering the fragile balance between the sacred and the profane. This is a story of defiance against fate, of the sacrifices demanded by faith, love, and loyalty—and of the terrible price paid by those who dare to challenge the will of the gods. less
