A cursed sword. A demon unleashed. A hero from another world.
Sixteen-year-old Marco Torres-Watanabe is trying to get home. Ever since his father died his mother has been distant and withdrawn. One night, angry and frustrated, Marco runs away only to find himself drawn into a world of magical yokai, dangerous oni, and in possession of a mythical sword called the Oni-waka no Tsurugi.
With the Oni Lord, Ibaraki, hounding him for the sword, Marco finds himself embroiled in a supernatural battle that he never intended to start much less seek to finish. What’s worse? The sword itself is the vessel of an ancient evil dragon that Ibaraki is seeking to free.
With the help of a tengu warrior and a sly kitsune, Marco must save this world from the clutches of evil while also trying to find a way back home before he can never return.
