About this ebook

"That following morning, Tempest, a maleficent typhoon, roared in the east. His hatred for all mankind and their creations burned within him. He thundered across the sky, racing toward Yakushima-destruction set in his heart. Frightened, the villagers hid within their homes, shuttered their windows, and huddled together. But Hiroko was not afraid.

Battling the thrashing wind, Hiroko fought to reach the shore of the island. She offered a soothing song to assuage Tempest’s fury. But he was unmoved. Calling up a tremendous wave, he swept across Yakushima. " -- Excerpt from "Hiroko's Tale"

A young girl, blessed by the Haru-Dori, fights to save her village from the dreaded Tempest. The village is spared, but the young girl lay dying. Her Daruma doll, filled with life, sets off to find someone to save his lady.
