The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess

In a realm where death isn’t the end, Terakomari “Komari” Gandesblood has spent the last three years as a proud shut-in. Born into the noble Gandesblood family, she once tried to live up to her lineage—until it became clear she’s a vampire who can neither wield magic nor drink blood, making the path of an imperial general impossible. A misunderstanding with her father, however, lands her an absurd promotion: one of the Seven Crimson Lords, the Mulnite Empire’s most feared generals.

Forced into command, Komari has to keep her shortcomings secret from the soldiers under her authority, knowing a single slip could invite a coup. With her newly appointed maid, Villhaze, at her side, she bluffs her way through leadership—convincing her unit she’s a merciless warlord set on world conquest. Yet the more admiration she attracts, the more precarious her situation becomes, especially when a vampire from her past returns determined to end her for good.
