The action-filled conclusion to one of Saya and Hagi's earliest missions for the Red Shield! Peasant uprisings and a sickly heir have destabilized the once-proud Romanov dynasty, and two shape-shifting Chriopterans are hiding in plain sight as members of the royal court. While one yearns to get closer to the ailing Prince Alexei, the other seeks to create an army of blood-sucking creatures out of ordinary humans! On the eve of the Russian Revolution, it's up to an unseasoned and unsure Saya to destory some monstrous experiments and their mad creator - before a horde of warrior Chriopterans are set loose on the rebellious Russian masses! Writer/artist Kumiko Suekana explores the rich Blood+ mythos further in her two-volume Blood+ Adagio series - which serves as a prequel to the Production I.G./Aniplex anime series!
