Summary by Author:
He went to the realm where no one with a pure heart should go. Yet he survived.
He dared to speak to the gods. And the gods spoke back.
His blood still carries the poison that should have killed him.
Sixteen-year-old Junya survived his battle with the Evil Ones, but his energy is weighed down by a powerful darkness. The Gatekeepers of Izumo Oyashiro are reluctant to let him back into their realm. His own mother watches him with a wary look.
Only Shoko – the deadly warrior who dresses like a Japanese schoolgirl – stands by him. And all Junya wants now is a way to introduce his ancient guardian of the gods to modern romance.
But the Evil Ones aren’t done with them yet. Someone in Junya’s world is murdering the shamans of the Earth’s ancient religions. Without their worship, the gods grow weak, and the Gatekeepers are in danger.
It will take a bold and unconventional plan to save Izumo.
The rules that have governed Gatekeepers for centuries are about to change.
But will it be worth the cost?
Note:
First and foremost I did not know this was a second book and i have recently discovered NetGalley. So do expect to hear about them often enough, This book is actually from NetGalley so i will also have my thoughts on their review page.

My Thoughts:
This book really surprised me, especially because i thought this book was going to be excruciatingly boring, but after jumping into it i find that it has these incredibly built characters and the world building the author had done was incredible it made me want to be apart of the book. It was a tad predictable as most books are especially if you read a lot, the relationships that the main character has with the people closest to him is intriguing as well as the things that they go through, through out the book. Overall its a good book although i would suggest getting the first one before reading the second one i am absolutely certain that it will help with understanding this one.
