Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In a quiet Japanese village preparing for an ancient lantern ceremony, three travelers arrive not as warriors, but as witnesses and participants.Kimiko has returned to the place where discipline first shaped her life. Freija walks beneath unfamiliar skies, carrying wonder from a colder world. Adrian watches from the edges, alert even when peace seems certain. What begins as a night of tradition and remembrance slowly reveals fractures beneath the surface. Some rites are meant to honor the past. Others test whether it has truly been understood.When a revered master vanishes, reflection gives way to urgency. The village must confront unspoken resentments, unresolved tensions, and the cost of mistaking tradition for stagnation. The answers are not found in dominance or force, but in patience, restraint, and choice.The Night of a Thousand Lanterns is a character-driven science fiction tale about memory, belonging, and the quiet power of release. Set within the Crimson Alliance Universe, it stands alone as a contemplative story of ritual and renewal, where even those from distant worlds can share in a tradition older than conflict itself. Some lights are released to guide the departed. Others remain behind, passed forward to those still learning how to carry them.
