But secretly, the fearsome Staz is obsessed with human culture, especially video games, manga, and everything that comes from Japan! When a Japanese girl wanders into the demon world, Staz can't wait to meet the human and learn everything he can about her world. Unfortunately, before he's able to ask her anything, the girl is killed by one of his would-be usurpers, leaving just her bare soul behind. Staz vows to help the girl restore her body and return to her former life-especially since it means taking a trip to the human world himself! less

Imprisoned in Liz's Toy Box, Staz is surprised by a visit from his older brother, the very man he came to Demon World Acropolis to see. But Blaz hasn't come to help Staz unlock the secrets of The Book of Human Resurrection. Instead, he's come to release Staz's true vampire powers, the same magic Blaz sealed away years ago by putting a bullet through his little brother's heart... moreImprisoned in Liz's Toy Box, Staz is surprised by a visit from his older brother, the very man he came to Demon World Acropolis to see. But Blaz hasn't come to help Staz unlock the secrets of The Book of Human Resurrection. Instead, he's come to release Staz's true vampire powers, the same magic Blaz sealed away years ago by putting a bullet through his little brother's heart. Staz's strength is needed to conquer a terrible threat that has appeared in the Demon World, and once again Staz finds himself a pawn in his brother's game. Unless he confronts this terror, the secrets of his brother's book will remain a mystery and Fuyumi will remain a ghost-if she doesn't disappear entirely first! less

When Fuyumi is captured, Staz and the others split up to try to locate the missing girl. Bell's space-bending spying, Liz's crystal ball, and Staz's old-fashioned detective work lead them to their culprit: Bell's younger brother?! Like his sister, Knell has dimension-warping abilities, which allowed him to sneak Fuyumi away right from under her protector's nose. Caught between family and friends, will Bell help Fuyumi return to Staz, or will she plant herself firmly between them?!

Unwilling to let anyone just waltz away with her little girl, Neyn sends Team Fearless - a crew of vampire slayers - after Staz and Fuyumi as they make their way to Demon World South. Team Fearless has never actually taken down a vampire, but they're looking to make good on their name and "save" Fuyumi... But for a hostage, the girl seems awfully eager to stay at the Staz's side... Has she fallen for the vampire's charms...or just for his blood?!

Using Staz's powerful magic, Braz has successfully resurrected his father, Richarz, former king of the Demon World. Staz is furious that his brother has swindled him yet again--with Staz's blood and Braz's efforts going toward resurrection research, Staz and Fuyumi are back to square one on restoring her human body. But more pressing than Fuyumi's precarious state is that of the Demon World! When the dust settles, will a vampire or a werewolf be sitting on the throne?!
