Journey into a magical otherworld of gods and ghosts in this inspiring story of hope and heartbreak from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Water Moon

In a quiet corner of Tokyo, an unassuming stationery shop hides an extraordinary secret: it's home to The Night Movers Disappearing Service, a clandestine business offering a way out for those who need to leave their lives behind. Their clients aren’t just the desperate or the lost, but forgotten gods, lingering ghosts, and stories that no longer belong in this world – each seeking passage to a hidden realm where they can begin again.

When Umi, a journalist, starts investigating her sister’s disappearance, her search leads her to the shop – and to its enigmatic manager, Haruto, a broken man striving to heal in his own second life.

As Umi uncovers the Night Movers’ fragile sanctuary, she is drawn deeper into a shimmering otherworld. But not every escape is as simple as it seems, and sometimes the cracks between worlds can quickly close behind you . . .

Blending magic and mystery, The Night Movers Disappearing Service is a transportive, enchanting novel about reinvention, belonging and the courage it takes to step into the unknown.
