The Heart of the River

 

Huang He is the dragon of the Yellow river, a spirit who has kept the balance between flood and drought for centuries. It's a lonely existence until the day he meets Xiu Ling – daughter of the Emperor - and the two form an unlikely bond. But forces beyond their control are intent on separating them, and when a civil war threatens to break out they must decide what to sacrifice. Peace, or each other?

Mirror of the Moon

Yuki didn’t know what to expect when she was suddenly spirited away to the Moon Palace. Trapped for a whole month with the god of the moon and tides - Tsukiyomi - things couldn't get worse. But there is more to Tsukiyomi than the stories of old. The more Yuki unravels, the more she questions everything she's ever known. Because the truth is, the greatest lies in life, are the ones we tell ourselves.

Foretold in the Heavens

The stars have aligned but what does it mean?

For Kai, a lord-less samurai, fate is for fools. For Akiko, a shrine maiden, it's a cage.

But when these two strangers unwittingly become entangled in a plot of murder and treason, they must work together to survive and redefine the fate foretold in the heavens.

The Thirteenth House

 

Aquarius is dead and several of the other Zodiac Houses are missing. It's up to Detective Ophidia and her assistant Tanith to uncover the killer. The only problem is, how do you spot one murderer amongst many in a court built upon lies and bloodshed? Perhaps the answer is closer than you realise.

A Promise of Ash and Blood

 

Kazumi had always known she’d been born different. Even without her mother’s dark whispers of forest spirits, yokai, and fox-magic, she’d understood that she was something not quite human. But that didn't mean she’d accept her sentence without a fight. If they wanted a monster, she’d give them one.
