Hayo, the Curse Maker

Hayo Hakai — the curse maker: a supplier of curses and unlucky days that can be unleashed on the worst enemies. When a demon destroys her native village, Hayo and her brother Mansaku flee to Onogoro — an island where gods live among people. However, the curse of the curse makers does not allow Hayo to settle peacefully in her new place. Upon arriving on the island, she and her brother learn that their close friend has died a terrible death. Drawn into a tangled web of intrigues and secrets, Hayo must navigate the intricate rules of the gods of Onogoro and not become their pawn. She will quickly realize that murderers and gods share one common trait — they always think they can get away with anything. And so it was — until Hayo appeared. An ideal read for fans of 'Six of Crows' and 'The Opium War'. A unique debut in the genre of Japanese fantasy by author and illustrator Mina Ikemoto Gosh.
