She is rescued by a courageous young man named Izark — but beneath his brave exterior lies the darkest evil imaginable. An ancient prophecy warns that Noriko herself holds the power to unleash that evil. Bound together by fate, the two must journey through a world that is as wondrous as it is dangerous.
