Over here in IFWG Publishing we’ve been waiting a long time to read Larry Ivkovich‘s final instalment of his ‘The Spirit Winds Quartet’, Return of the Luminous One. What a journey, what a delectable mash of time travelling, fantasy, mythologies, Japanese feudalism, and so much more. All tied together with the amazing protagonist, Kim Yoshima.

Great cover work, continuing from books 1 to 4, by Elizabeth Lang.

We are pleased to announce that Return of the Luminous One will be released on November 15, 2019. Preorder arrangements will be announced soon.

The final exciting volume in The Spirit Winds Quartet finds Kim Yoshima and her friends, Wayne Brewster, Jenny and Lazo Siboluvich, the sorceress Daiyu, Joe Martin, ArcNight, the shapeshifting felinoid Jaraal, David Amamoto, and the renegade Maghi, Amedio Zaranelli, racing against time to prevent a catastrophe of cosmic proportions.

Same old, same old for Kim.

Except for one thing. The mysterious Void, source of the Spirit Winds, has finally revealed itself, exerting its own numinous influence on the multiverse. It is ancient, profoundly powerful, and frighteningly familiar. But is its purpose for good or for evil?

And what of the Maghi and the demon Orcus? Who is really behind their monstrous evil?

Some will live. Some will die. Some will be forever changed. But, this time, the stakes are much, much higher. For, if Kim and her comrades fail, the multiverse will be irrevocably altered.
