The first novel in a dazzling anime-inspired fantasy series, set within a mythical archipelago brimming with dragons and Sun Spirits, high-tech hackers and bubble tea.

Limited copies with sprayed edges available for pre-order!

Life is hard for the inhabitants of Rainshadow City, a place where poverty and corruption are rife and where they are terrorised by an underground criminal organisation known as the Lucky Crows.

Toshiko, Jun and Mei Kawakami are a family, bonded through loyalty if not blood. They live outside the city's increasingly corrupt law and are seeking revenge on the Lucky Crows for the murder of their beloved ‘aunt’ Reiko. 

When Toshiko steals a dragon pearl from the leader of the Crows, it sets them all on a thrilling path which will determine the future of Rainshadow City. Tightly set across two days and peopled with unforgettable characters, The Rainshadow Orphans blends the anime fantasy of works from Studio Ghibli and Pokémon and the science fiction of revolutionary cyberpunk like Akira to explore what it means to stand up to corruption and take charge of destiny.
