Here Comes the Jampyre

After the death of her father, Misake vows to keep his legacy alive in Tokyo's criminal underworld. But when she spurns Boss Oh's desire to join families, the elder female Yakuza boss retaliates against many of Misake's businesses. The Jampyre in turn, wages war against the other families, systematically taking each down with the hopes of becoming the sole power in Japan. Uriel and Cyprian remain by Misake's side as renegades and traitors in their own respective vampire clans. They assist Misake in her conquests, fighting Yakuza armies and trained ninjas in stages of brutal and violent battles. But Uriel's loyalty to Misake begins to waver, sensing her relationship with Cyprian getting stronger. The guilt he carries for the death of his sister Gabriella and the betrayal of his Queen starts to take its toll. And Cyprian himself ponders the true meaning of his destiny, as his past and a higher purpose is revealed through the exploration of his Impundulu tribe and the cryptic motives of his own High Priestess. Misake and her Yakuza family are poised to take a flawless victory, until Boss Oh finds an unlikely ally in Chancellor Viktor Valiquette - the supreme leader of all vampires. Together, they join forces and take down the Jampyre and her friends with cunning strategy, timely intel, and the help of some eclectic new foes. Misake, Uriel, and Cyprian are left separated - physically and emotionally - with no signs of recovery. Book 2 of "The Vampire Haiku Chronicles" follows one young vampire's desire to solidify her father's legacy, but must confront the challenges of her generation - arrogance, naivete, and impatience - and deal with the consequences.
