Hello readers,
As you can tell by the title… it’s time! Tales of Yamato is now open for ARC readers, and all of you here on my newsletter get to sign up before anyone else. News of this will hit my social media tomorrow over on facebook, instagram, and bluesky.
First, have the blurb! It’s not 100% finalised yet cause I keep messing with it (and really should be done with it by now… oops)
Yamato. A land of lavish forests, full of life… and loss. In the most beautiful of places hides a harsh reality, surrounded by expansive seas that isolate a person as much as frees them: Wrathful gods, dangerous yokai, and humans who could end your life with a slice of the sword. Follow the lives of those surviving in any way they can, while cherishing love found along the way.
Read as a great bird of the skies—the suzaku—abandons everything for a new life, seeking joy and finding love, as even yokai have needs and desires.
But what about those who suppress theirs? The great sea god Susanoo can only do it for so long until his actions ripple into other stories.
And then there is Hirotoshi, a young boy noticed by the gods. Can he survive what is thrown at him, time and time again?
Fourteen tales will take you on a journey with humans, gods, and yokai, showing how each one isn’t so different from the other. And that, even in death, there will always be those who will honour your life.
So, wanna read? Go sign up over on my
Shiny ARC reader response form!
Thank you to everyone who has followed me so far, and I hope you enjoy what’s to come next. See you all in the next newsletter too.
