The Banquet of Starving Ghosts
This Halloween, read a spooky short story from Aconyte Books
At the edge of the darkened Shinomen Forest lie the overgrown ruins of a forgotten castle. Long ago, it burned down with its sleeping inhabitants trapped inside. Now, a phantom image of the doomed keep appears each night, and it falls to apprentice illusionist Soshi Minai to banish the ghosts and save her best friend, a Dreamweaver from the Moth Clan.
