Mina Ikemoto Ghosh
(Author)Description
From debut author Mina Ikemoto Ghosh comes a stunningly illustrated, high-fantasy debut novel. Meet the Hakai Family Hellmakers: Purveyors of artisan hells and unlucky days to inflict on your enemies. They'll make it personal... for a price!
Hyo Hakai is a hellmaker, hired to create customized hells and unlucky days for your worst enemies.
When a demon destroys her village, Hyo and her brother flee to Onogoro -- an island where the gods of their land live among humans. The hellmakers' hereditary curse, however, won't allow Hyo to settle in quietly.
Hyo is curse-bound to investigate the deaths that come her way and avenge them. As she's pulled deeper into a tangled web of dark secrets, Hyo must navigate the intricate rules of Onogoro's gods without becoming their pawn. She'll quickly realize that murderers and gods have one thing in common -- they always think they can get away with it . . .
At least, that was before Hyo arrived.
In this breathtaking debut, author and illustrator Mina Ikemoto Ghosh weaves action, fantasy, and myth into an unforgettable illustrated murder-mystery novel.
