Abalone - Shadow Shinjuku

Some people are different. Some encounters are too. More meaningful, more lifechanging. Even if as short as a single night spent together, escaping from shadows in the darkness of Tokyo. As even a single night is enough for two souls to leave permanent marks on each other, and create a bond as deep as the ocean, as timeless as the universe. Abalone is a novella set in the world of Ryu Takeshi's first novel, Shadow Shinjuku, and it follows Sato's struggle to help a mysterious woman and child escape their bitter fate.
As atmospheric as the novel, this fast-paced novella further expands the world of Shadow Shinjuku, while also holding its own as a standalone must-read for fans of urban fantasy and thrillers with a touch of magic.
