Shiranui Kengyo, once a devout Christian, now an unearthly vampire, has risen from his grave after 160 years to avenge the slaughter of Japan’s Christians by the shogun’s army. The shogunate, seething with corruption from within, now faces a new threat from without… the vengeance of the vampire king! By bloodied sword, by dark enchantment, Shiranui and his vampire brides will tear the shogunate apart, and only a few brave men will stand against him and try to bring his reign of terror to an end.
