Huge congrats to @dragonwell.bsky.social and @annakashina.bsky.social for today’s release of: Ys IX: MONSTRUM NOX So happy to have it on our shelves along with the Lacrimosa of Dana books ♥️ #Ys #Gaming #Booksky

The book cover MONSTRUM NOX. The book is sitting at top a wooden table and on the cover, a red haired protagonist against the series of bars, chained up as if in a jail.

You can count on these two to serve you a good dinner and make you feel welcome in a new city. But don’t be deceived by these innocent looks. Each girl has a secret, an alternate personality that makes her completely unrecognizable. And only Adol can break the curse... #YsIX #YsX
