The Kami Chronicles Book 1: When Spirits Awaken
14 parts Complete Hidden deep within the sacred forests of Mount Hiei lies Camp Tsukikage-a sanctuary for children born of the kami, the divine spirits of old Japan. Beneath its moonlit torii gates, demigods, yokai-blooded tricksters, and half-forgotten gods' descendants train to protect the fragile balance between the mortal and spirit worlds.
Across the ocean, Jack "Shin" Ryker, a storm-touched boy from the mountains of North Carolina, discovers he is the son of Ryūjin, the Dragon God of the Sea. When his powers spiral out of control, a spectral messenger guides him to Japan, to the one place that can teach him to master the storm within.
But the peace of Camp Tsukikage is unraveling. Yokai are turning feral, the Blood Moon Cult rises to awaken ancient serpent gods, and whispers tell of a rift between Amaterasu, Susanoo, and Tsukuyomi-a fracture that could shatter both divine and mortal realms.
Now, Jack and his new companions-Haruka, the moonborn strategist; Daichi, the storm warrior; Echo, the bard of spirits; and Kenji, the boy of living paper-must unite as the Tidebreakers, standing between the chaos of the old gods and the fading light of humanity.
As the veil thins and ancient powers stir once more... the spirits awaken.
