Richard Parks returns to Heian-era Japan with a novel featuring Yamada no Goji (who first appeared for Prime in Yamada Monogatari: Demon Hunter in 2013). Yamada is a minor nobleman of ancient Japan who has lost everything—except a single purpose: keep a promise to the woman he loved. In order to fulfill his vow, all he has to do is fight a horde of demons and monsters, bargain with a few ghosts, outwit the sinister schemers of the emperor’s court, find a way to defeat an assassin who cannot be seen, heard, or touched – and change the course of history. Fortunately, Yamada specializes in achieving the seemingly impossible, so he is sure in some way to succeed… if he doesn’t drink himself into oblivion first.
