"When his clan is wiped out by a beautiful demon, young Taikobo finds himself in charge of the mysterious Hoshin Project. Its mission: find all immortals living in the human world and seal them away forever. But who do you trust--and whose side are you really on--when you've been trained to hunt demons by a demon?"

Translated from the Japanese. "Hoshin Engi is based on The creation of the gods, by Xu Zonglin, one of China's four classic fantasy novels." In keeping with the original Japanese format, this book reads from back to front and from right to left.
