A Thousand Steps Into Night by Traci Chee is a fantasy novel inspired by Japanese folklore. In the land of Awara, humans exist right alongside monsters and gods. Despite the strangeness of her world, Miuko has always lived a peaceful existence as a normal young woman. However, everything changes when she's cursed to turn into a demon who possesses a deadly touch. Now she must go on a quest to plead her case to the gods themselves in order to break the curse, but along the way, she begins to realise she may not be as prepared to give up her new powers as she initially thought.
