The year is 1578. In a world where vampire hunters stalk the shadows of Japan, Toya finds sanctuary in an unexpected place. Bound to the alchemist Rui by a pact of blood and rare artifacts, the vampire’s predatory nature wars with his devotion. Tonight, exhaustion from starvation weighs heavily on Toya as he lies on the couch. When Rui returns, the air shifts instantly. Toya rises with terrifying speed, seizing Rui’s shoulders. His gray eyes bleed into a hungry crimson, reflecting a dangerous lack of control that terrifies him more than any hunter ever could.
