At the end of Gloaming Lane, at the edge of the otherworld, is the Amberglow Candy Store, open only between the full moon and the new moon.

Behind the cosy caramel-timber facade is Kogetsu, the half-fox proprietor, whose wagashi confections promise to change the lives of his customers for the better.

But who is this mysterious Kogetsu? A half-fox spirit he may be. But why is he so interested in his customers' emotions? Why does each sweet have a recommended ‘dosage’?

Like the centre of the chewiest caramel, life’s most valuable teachings take time to reveal themselves, and Kogetsu’s customers are about to get a lot more than they bargained for . . .

A delightful confection you’ll enjoy reaching for whenever a craving for magic, healing, and wonder strikes. But beware - its Invisible Wasanbon, Surrogate Caramels, and Enlightening Candy Apples are addictive . . .

Samantha Sotto Yambao, bestselling author of Water Moon
