Waking up from a coma weeks later, Anastasia sets forth on a vengeful quest for explanations and reparation. She quickly learns that she\u2019s been drawn into a cryptic conflict between massive corporations, and the secrets she\u2019ll uncover will cost her, body and soul, more than she ever imagined she could sacrifice.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Bloody Angel<\/em> is a symbolically and thematically rich cyberpunk adventure inspired by Japanese light novels and <em>anime<\/em>.
