Paper Lanterns — D.L. Wainright

We all have a darkness within us that we must never let out. An unsettling presence has taken to stalking Günter's family in Japan, and is intent on drawing that darkness out into the open. Old friends become rivals, hidden desire claws its way to the surface, and loss hangs heavy and oppressive. The only way to right the wrongs is to walk a dangerous path, paved with pain and blood. The third book in The Hollow Sun series, Paper Lanterns pecks away at the crumbling illusion of reality, seeking to sort the truth from the lies.
