Jisedai 2

Daniel P. Riley

In a future Tokyo, megaconglomerates engage in a low war against each other using ancient forms of combat carefully hidden from the city's denizens. Each company trains its own unit of clandestine killers. None whispered among executives with more fear than Suzakushin's Holy Eight, each named by their master after an Archangel. 
Six months ago, one of the Holy Eight went rogue and slipped from the watchful eye of Tokyo with a sex-trafficked girl under his protection. They were pursued by Holy Eight killers in the shadowlands beyond Tokyo's border wall, where lawlessness reigns. 
Out there, Gabriel and his ward, Hana, managed to build a life together with the aid of Hasegawa, a solitary old man stubbornly living out his twilight in the house his family built long, long ago. 
Now, Suzakushin comes for them again, putting more than just Gabriel and Hana's lives at risk. 
Is there a way out of the endless cycle of death? Can Gabriel defend everything he cares about, or must he lean into darkness and become the hunter instead? 
The Angel War continues...
