Description
The Matrix meets Percy Jackson in this exciting series packed with monsters, magic and mayhem, set in modern day Japan.
Science meets myth when ogres armed with high-tech weaponry steal a huge telescope as part of an insane plan to cast the world into permanent darkness. With global catastrophe looming, Kenny and Kiyomi take the fight to the enemy, even if it means going out of this world.
But all is not well between the friends. Kiyomi's behaviour is growing increasingly erratic and it soon becomes clear that her life - and her humanity - are in danger. Kenny is faced with an impossible choice - does he save his friend or fulfil his duty?
An action packed sequel to the Sword of Kuromori for boys and girls aged 9+. Excellent pacing for reluctant readers.
Praise for the series:
'An awesome load of fast-paced action and adventure. I found it hard to put down from start to finish!' LoveReading4Kids
Jason Rohan has worked as a staff writer for Marvel Comics in New York and as an English teacher in Japan, where he lived for five years. He returned to the UK and now lives in West London with his wife and five children.
