When eighteen-year-old Keiko Yamada’s father dies unexpectedly, he leaves behind a one way ticket to Japan, an unintelligible death poem about powerful Japanese spirits and their gigantic, beast-like Guardians, and the cryptic words: “Go to Japan in my place. Find the Gate. My camera will show you the way.”
Alone
and afraid, Keiko travels to Tokyo, determined to fulfill her father’s dying
wish. There, beneath glittering neon signs, her father’s death poem comes to
life. Ancient spirits spring from the shadows. Chaos envelops the city, and as
Keiko flees its burning streets, her guide, the beautiful Yui Akiko, makes a
stunning confession--that she, Yui, is one of a handful of spirits left behind
to defend the world against the most powerful among them: a once noble spirit
now insane.
The Earth itself is at stake,
and as Keiko fights to save it, strange, dormant abilities stir within her. She
suspects they are vital to her world’s survival, but to summon them, she must
first unlock the mysteries within herself and a past shrouded in mystery.
