The Weight of Immortality
Dive into the world of a young girl navigating her existence as a half-eastern vampire, born into a human world that cannot understand her nature. From the quiet rice paddies of Japan to the shadowy alleys of forced exile, her journey is a poignant exploration of identity, belonging, and the enduring human (and inhuman) spirit. This is a tale of horror found not just in fangs, but in the quiet loneliness of an endless life.
Stay tuned for updates, excerpts, and glimpses into her world.

Hikaru's rage would be apocalyptic, knowing Shoji's child grew not in her womb, but in that of a rebel he had taken comfort with during war.
