The newly formed family finds refuge in a mayoiga, a lost house, perched atop a beautiful cape overlooking the sea. While helping to rebuild Kitsunezaki, the three adapt to their new lives and supernatural new home, slowly healing from their troubled pasts. Kiwa regales Yui and Hiyori with local legends--from the shapeshifting fox-woman who used to roam the mountains, to the demon Agamé and a sea snake who once terrorized the townspeople, preying upon their grief and fears until they trapped the snake and the demon's claws in an underwater cave. But when mysterious and sinister events start happening around town, the three fear the worst. Did the earthquake release Agamé and the sea snake into the world again? Kiwa, Yui, and Hiyori join forces with a merry band of kappa river spirits, a bold zashiki warashi house spirit, and flying Jizo guardian statues to save their new family and home and banish Agamé and the snake once and for all"--|cProvided by publisher. 521 8 710L|bLexile 650 0 Runaway children|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Older women|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Abandoned houses|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Natural disasters|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Fantasy|vJuvenile fiction. 651 0 Japan|vJuvenile fiction. 655 7 Light novels.|2lcgft 700 1 Saito, Yukiko,|eillustrator. 700 1 Udagawa, Avery Fischer,|d1979-|etranslator. 730 0 Misaki no mayoiga.|lEnglish.
