War is Hell, and the innocent suffer the most. With most of its leadership annihilated, the Sacred Clan has scattered. Its survivors have turned their attention on the helpless across Asia. Despite Akio's relentless determination to eradicate them, the Clan's atrocities grow more brutal each day. A despot emerges amid the hellscape of battle. The Clan's mantle of supremacy doesn't stay empty long, and nothing will deter the new ruler from achieving his goals: Ensure the purity of the Sacred Clan and kill Akio-preferably painfully. The assaults on humanity are endless. The Weretigers aren't the only threat, and their villages aren't the only hot spots of contention. Faced with a war on several fronts, Akio and his friends must defend against attacks from all directions. Mix in a few Forsaken, and it's a recipe for complete disaster. Can Akio stop the attacks? And can he survive if more people he cares about die before it's over?
