Downloading Warmth from the Rising Sun (Shoju and Matashi Book 1)

Long ago, on the picturesque but remote Jussei Island, there was an ancient and sacred temple known as Dansei Karuto—the Cult of Men. Every year, the village elders chose boys of age to be selected to serve the temple. Not only was it the highest honour to be chosen, it meant a rich and full life for the families of the boys who were. But only a handful were ever taken in by the temple. The year they came of age, Shoju and his companion Matashi waited to learn their fate. As it happened, Shoju became one of the lucky few. After being accepted, he was quickly initiated into the Cult of Men so he could be worshipped and have his every desire attended to, no matter how small. All Shoju had to do in return was make himself available to the masters of the shrine for all manner of erotic delights. Delights Shoju was willing to provide as thanks for his selection. But all too soon, the waking dream filled with carnal delights, both wondrous and sensual, became a nightmare for Shoju. He realised the temple was a prison, even if a gilded one. And what’s more, he discovered the masters had their own nefarious agenda for the boys they’d selected—an agenda that could cost Shoju more than he’d ever imagined. Would he be able to escape the temple in time? Or would Shoju, so caught up in the web of deceit under the guise of worship, become the temple’s next victim? *This story contains artwork by "Winda Chu" **The story itself is rated adult and contains adult themes, including graphic intimacy.
