Armed with a new, prestigious title and his family and friends still at his side, vampire Christian Brookwater has spent the last four years helping to cure the werewolves of their insatiable bloodlust. The only problem is that his funding is coming from vampire taxes. Christian is about to be called on the mat for it and must defend himself on national vampire television. If that isn't enough to contend with, a vengeful goddess with ties to the Original Vampires begins uniting old enemies, encouraging betrayals and murdering friends. Christian's closest allies, Jeremiah The Werewolf King and Caleb the shape-shifting rachasa, must step up and have his back like never before , as The Heroes of Osaka find themselves assailed from all sides. Personal drama also unfolds as Christian and his second in command, Helen, each find themselves embroiled in separate but equally volatile love triangles, one of which will result in a surprising fatality. Secret alliances will be revealed, deals will be brokered, villains will emerge and heroes will rise. Most shocking of all, Christian Brookwater will discover that he is and always has been MORE THAN A VAMPIRE!

Earlier that night, before deciding where he and Jeremiah were taking Stephen for his twenty-eighth birthday, Christian had lamented about having to appear onVampire’s Weekly. The talk show, broadcasted over an encoded and strenuously password protected website, was a product of the vampire nation’s newfound interest in availing itself to Internet usage. Ironically, the inspiration for the building of an Internet based television network for vampires had been drawn from Stephen Buja’s successful use of that very technology during The Battle in Osaka. Jackson Witherspoon, a traditional conservative and rabid supporter of the old vampire regime under Emmanuel, hosted this show that Christian was expected to appear on. While many vampires had witnessed the events that took place in Japan on their computer screens and walked away feeling that the right side h
