Tatsu Kurosaki Cobb, the last of an ancient samurai house, will not stop until he takes the head of the vampire that butchered his family. But his vow of revenge means he gives up on any hope for that once-and-forever love. Then he crosses swords with Saito Arisada, second-in-command of Seattle's vampires and the most beautiful creature Tatsu has ever seen. The sexual chemistry between them is pure, hard, and undeniable. Unable to accept Arisada might be the killer, Tatsu begins a dangerous game. A game driven by the all-consuming thirst for blood that will force them to the extremes of love and hate. Fukushu, vengeance. It is all that has sustained Saito Arisada for eight hundred years. Sohei monk turned vampire, he has searched for the returned soul of his lover who betrayed him and the Temple of Mii-dera. Arisada believes in only one thing-taking the head of the traitor. Yet, when Arisada sees that soul shining from Tatsu's emerald eyes, his hatred shatters. He wants Tatsu in his arms and in his bed and in his heart. But Arisada's samurai code of honor demands nothing less than Tatsu's death. How can Arisada kill his unmei no hito-his soulmate? From the bloody battlefields of feudal Japan to a world where humans and vampires fight for survival, Arisada and Tatsu must choose. At stake is not only love but honor.
