Sinossi

When his father is accused of rebellion and forced to commit seppuku, it falls to Maki Bunshirō to protect his family's house from future retribution. Training as a samurai, Bunshirō must hone his skills with the sword and make powerful allies among the elders of the domain if he hopes to survive. As he is navigating clan politics, the object of his youthful affection, Fuku, becomes the mistress of the lord of the domain. When Fuku and her child become the key to the future of the domain, Bunshirō is forced to choose between what his lord commands and his childhood love.
Semishigure, literally meaning "cicada showers," refers to the ever-present noise of insects chirping in Japanese summers, a nostalgic reminder of the passing seasons. This much-loved, sentimental samurai novel by Shuhei Fujisawa, the undisputed master of the genre, is finally available in English, and Thomas Harper's deft translation brings all of the power, longing, and joy of the original that has captivated generations of Japanese readers.

    Unraveling Secrets Beneath City Lights 
    Emma Matthew's life takes an unexpected turn when a cryptic symbol etched into a dilapidated Chicago building draws her into a web of mystery and danger. Originally from Mississippi, Emma sought a fresh start in the Windy City, but she soon finds herself entwined with hidden forces vying for power and legacy. This fascination sets her on a path to uncover secrets buried deep within Chicago's historical underbelly and her own family tree. 
    As Emma delves deeper, she encounters whispers of a clandestine society known as the Serpentine Circle. Her journey is fraught with revelations that threaten her safety, revealing ties her family holds within this shadowy realm. Armed with grit, determination, and a sense of justice inspired by personal history, Emma navigates a treacherous landscape where alliances are tested and betrayals loom. 
    Emma is joined by a journalist ally, Kyle, and together they decipher a tapestry woven with political intrigue, manipulation, and a legacy reaching back decades. Their quest for truth uncovers systemic corruption and hidden connections that span from influential politicians to forgotten societal corners. With each clue, they face the daunting realization of the Circle's far-reaching influence—and the risk it poses to those daring enough to expose it.
