Burdened by her mother's final words and Kachan's haunting prophecy, Kiko is forced to train for her future as a yuta-warrior as prophecy states she is destined to battle the notorious Iron Dragon.
Between adjusting to life on a military base and struggling to control her newly awakened powers-Kiko's world is already in chaos. When her Obaa (grandmother), Kachan, vanishes without a trace, Kiko dives headfirst into the supernatural network of yuurii and yokai to track her down.
With help from the mischievous kijimunaa, Soojimu, and a few unlikely allies, Kiko must navigate the blurred lines between the human world and spiritual realm. And when dark truths about her family surface, she realizes that finding her obaa may not be the key unlocking the true power within herself. In fact, she and the Iron Dragon may have more in common than she'd ever imagined.
Steeped in Okinawan mythology, ghost stories and brimming with chimagukuru spirit, "The Last Sakura" is a thrilling YA fantasy series about legacy, friendship, and finding courage in unexpected places.
