A TRIUMPH FOR SAKURA

Famed fight coach Ned Bangs was down and out, until he saw Sakura fight four deadbloods like a champ. The catch? Unlike Ned, she was human. Under Ned's guidance, Sakura fights from the street to the big time, gathering fame and enemies as they reach the arena of Cascadia. Can they both survive when her courage fans the flames of a human revolution against their vampire overlords? What cost will they both pay for a Triumph for Sakura.

"A Triumph for Sakura is Hunger Games, Fight Club and True Blood rolled into one bloody good novel. It's non-stop action laced with hope and pathos as a mortal fighter, guided by a washed-up blood drinking trainer, carries the potential to alter the balance between the undead elite and a broken enslaved humanity. If you think vampires have been done to death, think again; Jason Ridler's page-turner will keep you on the edge-of-your-seat."
Nancy Kilpatrick, Author:THE POWER OF THE BLOOD world, Editor: EVOLVE II: VAMPIRE STORIES OF THE FUTURE UNDEAD, DANSE MACABRE

"Jason Ridler's A Triumph for Sakura reads like Andrew Vachss on speed, if Vachess wrote about vampires, that is. . . . You won't be able to put it down, and you can't stop caring."
Violette Malan, DAW author of The Mirror Prince and Paths of the Sun.
