Read the third and final book in a thrilling new fantasy series for readers aged 9+—perfect for fans of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, Dragon Mountain, and Mia and the Lightcasters!

In the thrilling finale to the epic fantasy series filled with gods and monsters of Shinto mythology, a twelve-year-old girl with divine heritage risks everything to save her family—and the world—from the vengeful goddess of the underworld.

Momo Arashima just wants an ordinary life. But she's about to become legendary...

Momo Arashima is half goddess and half human—torn between two worlds. But with her friends Danny, Ryleigh, Jin, and Niko by her side, she's finally starting to find a place where she belongs. Too bad none of that matters when Izanami, the treacherous goddess of death, threatens the life of someone Momo loves and forces her into a terrible bargain.

Izanami is after the Jewel of the Heart, an artefact that will help her finally escape the land of the dead... and she wants Momo to get it for her. Along with her friends, Momo must face fire demons, fanged mermaids, and spiders as big as horses. But even if they succeed, what will Momo do? Sacrifice the person most precious to her, or hand over the Jewel and unleash Izanami on the world?

"Misa Sugiura's Momo Arashima Steals the Sword of the Wind has all the hallmarks of a fantasy classic... edge-of-your-seat energetic, with comic moments and emotional depth" - LoveReading4Kids reviewer
