Jisedai: The Angel War
In the shadowed underbelly of a dystopian future Tokyo, where megacorporations wield absolute power and wage clandestine wars disguised as ancient Bushido duels, Jisedai: The Angel War unfolds as a pulse-pounding cyberpunk saga of honor, betrayal, and redemption. Penned by Daniel P. Riley, this electrifying three-book series blends high-octane swordplay, gritty noir atmosphere, and profound emotional depth, drawing readers into a world where corporate overlords crush the spirit of the masses while elite assassins clash in rain-slicked ruins.
At its heart is Gabriel, a lethal operative forged in the fires of Suzakushin Corporation's brutal training program. Armed with his signature white hare katana, he navigates a life of unyielding loyalty—until a chance encounter in the neon-drenched Harajuku slums shatters his world. There, he crosses paths with Hana, a resilient young woman scarred by abduction and thrust into a nightmarish underworld, accompanied by her enigmatic, otherworldly pet. Bound by an unspoken code of protection, Gabriel defies his handlers, igniting a relentless pursuit by his own group of Corporate Assassins, "The Holy Eight".
Across Jisedai, Jisedai 2, and the explosive finale Jisedai 3, the stakes escalate from personal survival to all-out rebellion. Can Gabriel and Hana break free from the machine that birthed their pain, or will they embrace the darkness to become the predators they hunt? Perfect for fans of Neuromancer meets Ghost in the Shell, this series delivers unflinching action, moral complexity, and a defiant cry for liberation in a world designed to crush spirits.
