A comedic dark fantasy about vampire clans, a vampire princess, and the man who hunts them! "Dear ladies and gentlemen of Japan! I apologize for asking such a mundane question, but do you all believe in vampires?" "I beg your pardon. It seems I'm a bit tardy in identifying myself. My name is Gerhard Von Balstein. I am a vampire, entrusted with the Island of Growerth and bestowed with the title of 'viscount.' Instead of introducing myself, I thought I might recount the story of a disturbance which occurred on my island. Or might I say, please allow me to tell you since I have some time on my hands."

An epic fantasy adventure set in an alternate medieval Japan, where humans co-exist with the mythic half man/half horse beasts known as centaurs, or "jinba". The centaur race were long revered as deities in ancient times; however, with the advent of the sengoku (warring states) period, humans started to enslave and use them for military purposes due to their speed, stamina, and ability to communicate in human language. Centaurs living in the plains were rapidly subjugated; in contrast, large numbers of centaurs living deep in the mountains were still free due to their relative isolation. A wild and proud samurai jinba from the mountains named Matsukaze, known as the redheaded rock tiger, is caught while protecting his son. He is traded to a feudal lord, and taken to his land. There he meets another centaur, named Kohibari, whose village was burned down as a child. He is a tame centaur, who had his arms amputated when he was captured, and has given up hope of escaping his human captors. If they can get over their differences and work together, they just might be able to return to the wilds as free centaurs. (Source: Ablaze Publishing)
