Lin Chen, a Chinese American biology prodigy at Harvard, was warmhearted and loyal, a respected big brother among the international students in Boston. But his dazzling achievements made him a thorn in other people’s sides.
An invitation to a party that seemed perfectly innocent turned out to be a carefully planned death trap. He was beaten and forced to drink poisoned liquor, dying on the cold floor of a mansion. The villains used their power to rewrite the truth as an “overdose,” then continued to walk free.
His grandfather, Lin Jiu, guarded their home in Chinatown. A Maoshan disciple who had spent half his life protecting his grandson, he could never let the boy die with his name cleared of neither blame nor injustice. Using sixty years of Taoist blood as a catalyst and the Nine Yin Body-Refining method as his foundation, he spent forty-nine days refining a corpse, trading his own life to make his grandson immortal!
When Lin Chen clawed his way out of a Chinese cemetery, the rationality of a Harvard prodigy collided with the power of a mutated Hong Kong vampire created by Maoshan arts. He fused Bajiquan with Maoshan vampire boxing, gaining a body of bronze skin and iron bones, immunity to sunlight, and a heart that remained human.
“Grandpa, you taught me to protect myself and to protect others. Now it’s time to teach me how to make the wicked pay with their lives.”
Beneath Boston’s neon lights, the Chinese vampire’s revenge begins. I’ll reclaim every life they took from me and every kindness they owe my grandfather. Blood debts must be repaid in blood. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!
