About this listen
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!

Sagara Sousuke isn't your typical high school student. He reads military enthusiast magazines; he responds to questions with "affirmative;" he brings grenades to school in his bag. Though everyone at school takes him for a hopeless military geek, Chidori Kaname thinks there might be something more to him. When their plane is hijacked in the middle of a field trip, Kaname's instincts will prove correct: Sousuke is an elite, mech-piloting mercenary... and he's here to protect her!

In 525 BC, the Persian king Cambyses sent 50,000 soldiers across the conquered Egyptian desert to take an oasis city not far from where the Libyan border stands today. According to Greek history, a hurricane-force sandstorm struck near the end of their 600-mile trek. The army - all 50,000 men - vanished without a single trace. Fast forward to 1986. A British archaeological team, sent to the edge of the Great Sand Sea to exhume evidence of the incident, has also gone missing.

The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighboring Giadian Empire's army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties-or at least, that's what the government claims. In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the "nonexistent" Eighty-Sixth Sector.

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.

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.

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.
