THE WAR IS YOUNG, and the gods are hungry. Ogonsekai has been warring for twelve years, so many remember the age before. An age of submission. An age of silent resentment and knives behind backs instead of on tables. An age when the Outskirts bowed to Hikarishi. Ogonsekai has been at war for almost twelve years. Many remember the age before, but none remember a time of peace.
PEACE HAS SURRENDERED. The goddess cowers at the feet of the Serpentine throne, and kisses the boots of the shogun Amihan as she bleeds out and dies. All fear the shogun- including his emperor. Including his son and daughter: his would-be heir and his jewel.
ALL FEAR THE SHOGUN, even the High King of the north, who watches his kin prepare for war. The Uenons pity the rebels. They fear the shogun, and they fight their fear with fire. The Uenons challenge the shogun. The Uenons challenge the empire. The Uenons challenge him.
HIS DAUGHTER CHALLENGES HIM. His daughter, his only surviving child, a girl who wants to be king. His cunning brother fears her as much as he fears the shogun. Perhaps more.
❅
Princess Yuina Mongonai expects to be declared the heir to the Northern Icelands. An idealist with a rebel heart, Yuina intends to turn the north against its imperial conquerors and aid the Outskirts instead. But on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Yuina learns that fate and her scheming uncle have other plans.
In order to prove himself worthy of the title shogun, Dai Kimsura must win a fight against his god-blessed, vicious sister. To secure his future and win the favour of his parents, Dai is given a mission only he can complete. A task that may be his undoing.

Collision of Heaven and Hell ✅
"A sword will only be as strong as the sheath that will keep it from breaking when it is at rest." *** As the daughter of a yakuza shatei, Mai knew the stigma that would follow her. As such she worked hard to get a perfect score on Shirahime Girl's Academy entrance exams, and she excels in Nihon-buyō in following her dream to be a professional dancer. Though aware of her own position, Mai was happy with the life she had. She could compare it to being in Heaven. But unfortunately, it does not take long for her heavenly life to plunge into Hell with the sudden death of the beloved Oyabun...and the chaos that emerges with his successor. The only thing that seems to keep her from falling completely into the abyss is the presence of a handsome but quiet young man. Chikafusa is feared by many. Not because of anything he personally did, but because his father served as a "cleaner" for the Awaosamu-gumi. Chikafusa himself wanted to keep a trouble free life and pursue his passion to becoming a veterinarian, but he is afraid of the reputation his family has, and because of the way others look at him. He is scared that he will inevitably follow in his father's footsteps. The only person who seems to see beyond his name is Mai, and her gentle nature and innocence constantly puts him at ease. It is because of her that Chikafusa believes that he can make his dream come true...even as the world they know plunges into chaos. The living Heaven and the living Hell can be deceiving. One can achieve both through their own means or through the machinations of others. But the sword protects the sheath during battle, and the sheath protects the sword during peace. Neither can survive the collision of Heaven and Hell without the other. - Word Count: 52,116Complete
