What if you were human and something else? What if you lived in Meiji-era Japan, when Westernization shook your country and rocked your society, but all you wanted was a normal human life without losing the other half of yourself?
Toki-Girl Azuki and her brother, Sparrow-Boy Shota, face continuing peril from enemies both material and supernatural in a time when anything could happen and probably did. In the midst of the phenomenal global changes brought by colonialism, imperialism and the Industrial Revolution, the Toki-Girl, the Sparrow-Boy, their dual-natured friends and of all their families fight to save their lives and both their human and non-human worlds.
NEW SIDEWAYS STORY! In 1820s China, British opium smuggling threatens the sovereignty of the Manchu Empire. Feng Meili is a Shaolin-trained assassin whose first assignment is to recover the Iron Fan -- a National Treasure with magical powers -- and kill the collaborator who stole it.
Magical realism and historical fantasy collide as Toki-Girl Azuki and Sparrow-Boy Shota
live double lives while trying to survive in the tumultuous world of Meiji-era Japan.
