A vengeful ghost. A cursed drum. A Japanese angel. Will Tally save her friend — and her angel?

Twelve-year-old Tally is thrilled to explore ancient Japanese traditions — tea ceremonies, taiko drumming, and sumo wrestling — but shadows hide beneath the excitement. Her new friends carry secrets, and even her mischievous angel, Jophiel, seems distracted.

When a mysterious Japanese angel appears with a connection to a cursed drum, Tally must unravel secrets in a race against time. Danger lurks around every corner, and the stakes are higher than ever: if she fails, she could lose Jophiel forever.

“A thrilling, globe-spanning fantasy packed with friendship, courage, and heart.”
