Shadow over Tokyo

Chronicles of Cain, Book 10

Necropolis rising.

A necromancer wants to turn Tokyo into a necropolis.

That necromancer should be dead. Cain and Hannah had killed her long ago. Or so they thought. But there's a fresh infestation of necrotons, reanimated corpses, haunting Tokyo's streets.

Cain and Hannah return to Tokyo to finish what they started. But what they find is much worse than they could have ever imagined. These necrotons aren't the same as the ones they faced before.

Necrotons have strength in numbers. They're puppets on strings. Only as skilled as the necromancer controlling them. Remove the head and the strings are cut. But these necrotons don't work like that. They regenerate.

And they keep coming.

To make matters worse, the local Mage Guild won't help. In fact, they're actively protecting the new necromancer. That necromancer is working on a spell to kill millions of citizens at once. To instantly reanimate the corpses.

And if Cain can't stop them, Tokyo will soon be a city of the dead.

So good!

John Corwin is a hilarious, nerdy, relevant and unpredictable. It makes for such a fun ride!! I’m loving this series and I hope it keeps going for a while longer. It hasn’t gotten repetitive or boring and, on top of that, Austin Rising’s performance is perfect. Very excited for what’s to come!
