Blood of Kurashiki: A Japanese Dark Fantasy

Asha Takahashi came to Japan with one photograph and a single name. A father she never knew. A past her mother refused to explain. But when Asha arrives in the quiet town of Kurashiki, everything she believes begins to unravel. The man in the photograph exists. He just isn't the man who remembers her. A family recognizes something impossible in her blood. A town watches her every move. And beneath Kurashiki's lantern-lit streets and ancient canals, an immortal society has spent centuries protecting a secret that was never meant to survive.
Because memory can be rewritten. Blood cannot. As ancient bloodlines awaken and predators emerge from the shadows, Asha discovers that she carries something long believed extinct-something powerful enough to shatter the fragile order that has ruled Kurashiki for generations. Now every step toward the truth brings her closer to becoming the very thing its rulers fear most. Some monsters hunt for power.
Some hunt to survive. And some...have been waiting for her. Blood of KurashikiA Japanese Dark Fantasy
