Story
Thousands of years ago, Vampire King Akabara “Red Rose” Strauss lost both his kingdom and his queen. Unable to kill the queen outright, humans sealed her away and erected thousands of decoy seals to prevent the king from ever finding her true location. Relentlessly pursued by dhampires, Akabara continues his search to this day.
His quest grows more perilous with the emergence of an entity known as the Black Swan, which inhabits the body of a young human girl every 50 years, granting her the power to destroy both the Vampire King and his queen. With each new incarnation the Black Swan grows stronger — will the 49th Black Swan finally spell the end for Akabara?
