When archaeologist Shizen Hayashi excavates a remote mountain shrine in Japan, she uncovers a hidden chamber the village has guarded for seven centuries.
Inside waits the relic of something that should never have survived history:
the horns of an Oni-a betrayed samurai transformed into a demon by rage and injustice.
When Shizen breaks the ancient seal, the Oni awakens.
Bound by blood and purpose, they begin hunting the powerful families whose fortunes were built on the betrayal that destroyed him. What begins as a quest for justice soon becomes something far more dangerous-a reckoning centuries in the making.
But every debt they collect changes Shizen.
The deeper she digs into the past, the more she begins to resemble the monster she freed.
And when horns begin to grow beneath her skin, Shizen must decide whether she is guiding the Oni's vengeance...
-or becoming its heir.
ONI HORNS is a literary dark fantasy about buried truth, inherited guilt, and the terrifying cost of justice when it refuses to stop.
For readers of Silence of the Lambs, Mexican Gothic, and The Only Good Indians.
