The White Shadow - Hardcover

by Joseph Asphahani (Author)

Alive or dead, blessed or cursed, Shin has to decide if she will forgive the vicious sins of her mysterious past or if her own ghosts will destroy her.

Abandoned at birth, given a male's name at an automated orphanage, Shinjiro Asai commands the inexplicable power to cross into Yomi, the realm of violent yokai and twisted shadows. Contracted by the criminal Syndicate, she finds herself swept up in the endless secret wars between mega-corporations that reign over the broken world she hopes to escape. Despite her best efforts, there's just one thing keeping her from finally breaking free: she cannot die.

When she is targeted by a long-forgotten dynasty of a bygone era, Shin grips the katana of a mad samurai spirit, gaining overwhelming control of her abilities-not to mention agency over her own life. With this new power, Shin will rise to the sub-orbital heaven occupied by a wealthy elite, then plunge deep into the concrete hell of a struggling resistance, all to satisfy the samurai's thirst for revenge, and to serve a cryptic, digital dragon's dangerous vision for a better world.

Along her journey-filled with monsters and magic, traditions and technologies, cyborgs and sentient suit jackets-Shin must temper herself or else fall to the corruption of her newfound power.
