Hana Steele carries yokai blood, but her supernatural heritage may not be enough to face what's coming. A fallen god stirs in Japan's shadows, planning to unleash the night parade: one thousand and one enslaved yokai that will drown the world in nightmares. Hana's journey takes her from New York's streets to Japan's mountains and finally into the Underworld itself. She gathers allies along the way. Edo, a fox-demon, becomes her reluctant protector. His sister Minami brings technical skills to their mission. Their cousin Masato offers scholarly knowledge. Isao, a raven prince with angelic looks and a fiery temper, rounds out her team. Hana must master every spark of kitsune-fire within her and trust in her companions. The final confrontation awaits at a god's grave, where Hana will battle to save everyone she cares about.
