“There are no vampires in Japan. That is the position of the Emperor. The Emperor is wrong...”
Japan, 1899. A party of vampires – exiled from Britain by Prince Dracula – seeks refuge in Tokyo and are confined to Yokai Town, a ghetto where the Meiji Emperor keeps the country’s vampires – bizarre creatures as different from European nosferatu as they are from living humans. Dr Geneviève Dieudonné, Kostaki, a soldier, Daniel Dravot, a spy, and Christina Light, a revolutionary princess, try to survive in Yokai Town as forces within and outside its walls threaten to destroy the newcomers and the long-time residents. What secret lies under the Temple of One Thousand Monsters?
Why I'm Waiting: Because I love this series and Genevieve Dieudonne!
HAPPY READING!
I've always been curious about this series but have never read any? Is it one you recommend?
ReplyDeleteTotally! I love his take on the Dracula lore, and the series jumps through history and brings in some iconic players with each different era. I will say it is super violent at times, but I adore this series!!
DeleteI need to check out the first book! Didn't know there would be a sequel. Thanks for sharing!
