Taro's world is turned upside down when his father is murdered by a ninja. Another ninja saves Taro's life and in so doing turns him into a vampire. This begins the young man's journey through feudal Japan, training to become a ninja and learning about himself. It's a preposterous premise, but the political and personal intrigues will carry readers through.
