Opis

Japan of the mid twenty-third century has become an isolated country politically dominated by a Marxist ideology that strictly segregates the wealthy and powerful from the working class. 21-year-old Anastasia Fujiwara's simple life is abruptly overturned when she finds herself turned into an unwilling pawn in a vicious corporate power struggle that leaves her parents dead and herself with her own two legs and right arm replaced with cybernetic prosthetics. As Anastasia begins a violent quest for explanations and justice, she discovers that everything she believed about herself and her world has been a lie. Futuristic noir and ancient Japanese magic collide in an emotionally devastating convergence as Anastasia struggles to attain vengeance against those who stripped her of everything she held dear, find a new understanding of her own identity, and ultimately secure an emotional peace.

Bloody Angel is a symbolically and thematically rich cyberpunk adventure inspired by Japanese light novels and anime. The tragic, unconventional revenge epic is steeped in Shinto mythology and includes extensive religious iconography and abundant subtextual depth. Bloody Angel is an intelligent, challenging, emotionally wrenching story for mature readers with a taste for provocative sci-fi action.
