Seventeen-year-old Jotaro Kujo thinks he is possessed by an evil spirit, but the terrifying power lurking behind his prison bars is only the beginning of a nightmare that spans generations. When his mother falls into a life-threatening coma triggered by the resurgence of a long-buried family curse, Jotaro is forced to abandon his delinquent life and embrace a destiny he never asked for. To save her, he must master Star Platinum—a manifestation of raw, psychic violence known as a Stand—and lead a desperate crew of allies on a high-stakes trek across the globe. Their target is DIO, a sadistic vampire who has crawled from the depths of the ocean to finish his blood feud with the Joestar lineage. Every step toward Cairo is a gauntlet of lethal encounters, as an army of Tarot-themed assassins waits to strike from the shadows with powers that defy the laws of physics. This is more than a journey; it is a brutal race against a fifty-day clock where the bonds of friendship and the weight of a century-old legacy are the only things keeping them from a cold, lonely grave in the desert sand.
