Fruit of the Underworld Series

Hades is back on the throne—and hungry for a fight.

Desperate to save his best friend Haru from an untimely death, Seiji ventures into the underworld where years ago he’d picked up a pitch-black pomegranate that brought him untold misfortune. To his dismay, this time he lands himself squarely in the midst of a violent coup d’état against the rule of Heaven.

With no other allies but a stand-up judge of souls and a recently-deceased superstar, will Seiji manage to fight off the dark forces dead-set on ripping the pomegranate out of his bowels? Or will the seeds of that ungodly fruit destroy him from within before he even gets the chance?

The battle for the fate of the world begins with a single bite.

All Seiji wants is to live like an ordinary high school kid. But for the past ten years, an unending stream of “accidents” have made it a daily battle to stay alive at all. So when a mysterious messenger hints that the answer to Seiji’s problems may lie in his past, he digs up a curious pomegranate he’d once found at the bottom of a well rumored to lead to the underworld and tries to get rid of it for good.

Unfortunately, that unearthly piece of fruit wasn’t all Seiji brought back with him, and his split-second solution may have just opened an ungodly can of worms poised to rock this world—and the next—to its very core.
