When hunters of Shima's imperial court are charged by their Shogun to capture a legendary griffin, they fear their lives are over. Any fool knows the beasts have been extinct for more than a century, and the price of failing the Shogun is death. Accompanying her father on the Shogun's hunt, the girl Yukiko finds herself stranded: a young woman alone in Shima's last wilderness, with only a furious, crippled griffin for company. Even though she can hear his thoughts, even though she saved his life, all she knows for certain is he'd rather see her dead than help her. But together, the pair will form an indomitable friendship, and rise to challenge the might of an empire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003eAn intoxicating joyride into steampunklandia with a magical dose of mythology, the supernatural, violence, dystopian themes, and a top-notch brassy heroine who rivals Katniss Everdeen of \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games\u003c\/i\u003e.\" -\u003ci\u003eHuffington Post\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"With airships, demons, and lashings of revolutionary swordplay, this chi-fueled vision of a steampunk feudal Japan will blow your split-toed socks off.\" -Scott Westerfeld, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eLeviathan\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Kristoff is the master of unique and intense plots and huge twists.
