Blurb:
Kanjin hardly views their servants as human. Even less so when they are different.
Asagi is different. Both a man and a woman.
In the wake of his failure to protect the boy they saw as a son from their abusive master, Asagi is sold into the house of a young nobleman, Mahiro, who is the opposite of everything that Asagi has ever known — gentle, kind, and generous.
Mahiro bonds with Asagi and their friendship blooms into profound love. But when Asagi is poisoned out of jealousy, Mahir reveals himself to be a youkai, a demon who feeds on blood, and he has no choice but to turn Asagi in order o save their life.
Asagi awakes reborn, strong, and eternally youthful. But the Brice for Asagi’s new life is high.
The blood is innocent.
Just as Asagi’s trust in Mahiro falters, the boy they failed to protect, now a man, reappears.
New master, same threat.
With both a literal and proverbial monster at the door, Asagi must decide what it means to be human to protect what they love the most.
If you like Bella Forrest, PC Cast, AJ Tipton, or Anne Rice, you will love this beautiful dark paranormal fantasy romance.
