Book 2 of: Account of the Change. Sometimes new beginnings are actually old. Kyoko thought she knew who she was and what she was doing with her life. But when she catches wind of the coming Swell, she knows that things will never be the same again. Too bad no one listened to her warnings. With her nation asunder, she has little choice but to do what it takes to survive as she travels through the changing world and faces her destiny. With the aid of friends and her plucky family, can she survive the demands of this changing world? Or will enemies new and ancient be the end of her and those she cares for? Grab your Tanuki and hold on tight because there is a new player in town, and she's brought her paintbrush.
