Guts, the Black Swordsman, once served as the fiercest warrior in the Band of the Hawk, an elite mercenary group led by the enigmatic Griffith. Beneath Griffith's serene exterior lies an unbreakable will and lethal combat skill that earns him the king's favor—and the princess's eye.

The jealous prince hatches a deadly plot to assassinate Griffith, but he underestimates the bond of the Hawks. If the scheme fails, he'll face Guts and his massive broadsword, and those confrontations never end cleanly. This volume continues the dark fantasy epic with stunning artwork and brutal storytelling for mature readers.
