The feudal Japanese political intrigue that Taro and his friends are caught up in continues in this third and concluding installment. Now they must contend not just with vampiric ninjas but also zombies and ancient dragons. The fantastical elements overwhelmingly pile up as Taro deals with love, loss, and betrayal on his earthly--and otherworldly--path toward redemption.
