In Sakuri, a young woman is about to be sacrificed to the vampiric Noblewoman who reigns over the village. But before the princess can drain the life from the woman, a young man tries to slay the vampire. He fails and manages to escape, but in doing so incurs the wrath of the entire town. The citizens of Sakuri have entered into a pact with the Undead princess and her monstrous bodyguards. With the ritual offering disrupted, the vampire's armored bodyguards vow to murder the villagers one by one until the would-be hero is captured.

When Vampire Hunter D learns of the villagers' bargain he knows he faces several almost impossible challenges—can he rid the town of the parasitic demons that plague it? What if Sakuri's inhabitants don't want to be rescued? And can he uncover the secret that even the vampire Noble is afraid to speak?

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Entertaining installment

Really liked this one both story and performance wise. I’ve listened to every book in the graphic audio edition that is available and highly recommend it. I’m not huge on those types of audiobooks but think it does really well here in this format!

Short and Sweet

The Rose Princess is probably my second favorite book in the Vampire Hunter D franchise so far. The only problem I find with this story is how short it was for the unique cast and personalities that were introduced in it. The author makes the princess's knights very likeble characters that all very shooed away very quickly.

Excellent

This is a nice get to the point action packed creepy ironic sci fi wonderful tale .

I’ve recently started Audiobooks(Dramadized)

The Rose Princess is so far my favorite of this series and it great performance. The music is on point the problems I would have are minor because it’s an opinion base not to the quality of this audiobook just personally preference.
I would highly recommend for anyone into Future Dystopian, Horror, Knights, and D. The Frontier has its story and this a 9.5 compared to the rest of books I’ve listen to or even read.

Blue Knight, Red Knight, Black Knight, white knight

Production for these dramatized novels are excellent.
My complaints about previous was author used so much jargon and same ol same ol. With template of young girl and D’s presence is dreamy, and at least one bad guy never get a redeeming second chance.
This novel uses same template but at end D shows why he is a vampire hunter.

A Noble Princess

It has a interesting twist on the princess trope. She was the bad gal with class.

😑

I don’t like the dramatized adaptation audio books. When is audible going to start releasing the regular audiobooks read by Paul boehmer? I prefer those. I’ve been saving up my credits for those.
