The Crimson Tempest: Iron, Sake, and Steel

By WILLIAM haddix

In a world where the realms are bleeding and ancient horrors stir, only the loudest, most irreverent crew of misfits can stand against the encroaching darkness. The Crimson Tempest: Iron, Sake, and Steel is a high-octane, supernatural action saga that follows a band of warriors who fight with as much fury as they drink.

At the center of the storm is Tj Takanotsume, a boisterous red oni leader with horns like storm clouds and a starfire katana named Blazefury that hums with divine hunger. Alongside him are Soryu, a cunning nine-tailed kitsune master of illusions; Caleb Voss, a Texas gunslinger with rune-carved revolvers; and Kurofang, a werewolf-thing with a taste for carnage.

The crew's ranks swell when they encounter Ganzan the Red Maw, a wine-dark colossus who carries Bone-Reaper, a massive club forged from a sea-dragon's spine. Whether they are shattering the "Silence After Sunset" of a cursed village or battling the Succor Inkborn-demons who turn flesh into screaming calligraphy-the Crimson Tempest meets every nightmare with a roar, a swing of steel, and a heroic swig of sake.

Prepare for a tale where names are stolen, mountains are humbled, and the only thing more dangerous than the monsters is a red oni with an empty jug.
