Spirit's Almanac (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798342400084)

In other lands the black magicks of occultism are hunted and burned at the stake; not so in Elysia. Here, spells are state mandates, spirits are firm allies, ghosts are honored instead of graves. None know this more than the agents of the Ministry, whose role is that of the use of and protection against the occult. One such name, Agent Yukiko, uses the hidden spirit world, the Twilight, to calm and catch rampant ghosts or devilish evils, alike.

However, when the Twilight takes her in return, trapping her in wayward, timeless realms for 63 years, she returns with nary a connection to the Elysian Dynasty in the modern day. Her family passed, the world different, with war brewing and spirits inspired to violence. The Ministry, however, remains a steward of a precarious Dynasty under the rule of a drunkard Emperor given the title of Carnival Crown for his near-infinite debauchery and unending celebrations. It may not be the same Ministry she left behind in the world-before, but in order to keep the peace between the worlds of the physical and spiritual, she will need to navigate this black magic bureaucracy and play the part of witch and agent.
