A bloody past haunts him. A devastating present calls him back…
Nao hides from his violent past in the Japanese mob by opening a teahouse in Japan's cultural center, Kyoto. His past comes flooding back when he discovers a gravely injured man with a tattooed chest, a bloody knife, and a Korean business card.
Saehyun would've died if not for Nao's help. He knows nothing of his savior's connection with the local mafia, but Saehyun has his own secrets. He commands the Korean mafia, the mortal enemy of Nao's former syndicate.
As Nao and Saehyun grow closer, so does the strength of the Korean mob. A shocking murder pulls Nao back into a past he'd all but abandoned. War is looming, and Nao must choose between protecting Saehyun or avenging the honor of his old mafia family..
The Yakuza Path: Blood Stained Tea is the first book in a series of Japanese mafia thrillers. If you like complex characters, blood-soaked violence, and twists you won't see coming, then you'll love Amy Tasukada's gritty crime masterpiece.

Numo
The writing was masterful and tightly woven.It was so violent that I felt sick but so very compelling. The ‘ noble’ reason of saving tradition from either side was there. The inner love story was wonderful but the ultimate betrayal of the secondary character was disappointing. Overall this was incredible.
One to read
I love m/m stories and this one was has me wanting to finish the series. Going to buy the other two books.
Fascinating
I couldn’t put this one down. The story unfolds slowly; the ending is not what you might expect. A really good read.
