KIRKUS REVIEWS' BEST BOOKS OF 2023.
'A rapidly expanding quest with a seemingly endless supply of mischief and surprises.' -- KIRKUS Star Award.
'A hugely imaginative and propulsive read.' -- The Book Commentary.

A stone marten, in pursuit of the sun, climbs to the very Heavens and causes quite a commotion. Both the stubborn gods and the ordinary people have a hard time when weredemons break free. Even the Lord of the Underworld turns out to be powerless.

But sometimes even a mouse can be stronger than an elephant, as the old proverb says. The fate of the world ends up in the hands of Takuan -- a young trickster, who deceives the greedy, angry, and ignorant people across the country of Chinayindu. On his journey, he meets a wandering warrior by name of Zhu Leizu, a temple monk named Soliang, a clumsy sorcerer known as Bricabrac, and many others.

Our story begins with a village boy setting off to a monastery to become a demon-hunting monk, only to find out how truly dull monastic life can be. Or does our story actually begin with the birth of the stone marten Ta-Guan? To learn about what happened in the Heavens, the incredible adventures of Takuan, and what was the end of all of it, read the book 'Takuan from Koto' by Ry? Zhong.
