    "тнє мιяяσяѕ...тнєу ℓιѕтєη, ∂ι∂η'т уσυ кησω?" -Makura Makura has always been alone. He didn't live where everyone else did, no, he lived on the other 'side.' He lived in the mirrors, the reflections, puddles, glass windows, polished metals... but not where others lived. He always watched though. He watched as demons began stealing souls. He watched as the first demon hunter trio sang their first song. He watched as the Honmoon came to life. He watched as generations of humans passed by while the demon world was stuck in place. He watched as a hunter eloped with a demon. He watched as 5 demons suffered in the grasp of the demon king. He watched as a small child and her aunt struggled to handle the reality of what she was. He watched. Then... he watched as he was seen for the first time. ____________________ Notes: Slow Burn is only because it takes the boys a while to meet Makura and actually interact with him. Story starts mostly focusing on the girls (and the poor fourth wheel named Makura.)

Worse still, the village itself is abandoned, its residents vanished and their homes claimed by an insidious dark coral. Mysteries rise at every turn, yet none more startling than the sudden reappearance of Calypso, Jaster's one-time imaginary friend pulled back by forces unknown. Stranded together in a drowning village, the three must race to find the missing villagers, undo the curse that has befallen Flatsands, and face the ancient threat that stirs beneath the blackened waves. *** Cover and chapter-end banner skilfully crafted by the wizard of legend @-DeeIsDead- (thank you so much again, Dee!)

When the seals begin to shatter, the five heirs - Arjun, Thana, Mahar, Minh, and Raka - are drawn together by shared visions and a prophecy older than language.
