On Astral Tides - Book Six - The Conclave

After saving Shiro’s life via a devilish pact with Taṇhā, the mysterious Goddess inhabiting her, Akio has no time for rest.

Arriving at Kyoto, the heart of Japan’s religious and spiritual legacy, Akio, his allies and his family have to assert their own authority to seize power from the existing factions that have held sway for fifteen hundred years.

But those who have control are loathe to relinquish it, and some feel threatened by Akio’s might, and jealous of his influence.

Worse, the mythical Hyakki Yagyō, the Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons, stalks the Kyoto Boundary, chaos and revelry personified, restrained by none.

This cauldron of chaos is surely set to boil over, and not every Chosen of the Gods can be trusted to act wisely…

In Kyoto, what tragedy will unfold as the old clashes with the new, and who will be caught in the middle of this impending disaster?
