The Yakuza have rolled into town, and Vince finds himself caught in a standoff between the old and new worlds of magic.
Doubts remain over who tried to assassinate Vince, and the cops have locked down the city to protect the mayor's reputation. But Vince has a job to do. He's taken back the mafia's old territory for their don, but their rival still refuses to accept reality and bend the knee.
Meanwhile, Houou tears itself apart in a factional dispute that spills onto Vince's lap. With the Yakuza circling, Vince is now the mafia's greatest weapon in an escalating gang war that threatens to spiral out of control.
With Christmas around the corner, he even lands himself a special gift—a cursed magic item that might launch Vince to greater heights, or drag him to oblivion.
