SynopsisTransported into a fantastical world of high adventure, a confused and frightened teenager discovers she holds the key to a profound power borne of an age-old prophecy.
Scared and on the run, Noriko strikes up an alliance with a mysterious rogue swordsman named Izark. But now, weakened from a recent battle, this swordsman has become dependant on his young charge to nurse him back to health.
Trapped in a strange world and unable to speak the native language, Noriko must find a way to save her fallen warrior... and save herself, too!
Review
Not much more is revealed in this volume, other than Izark seems to have a mysterious illness that comes and goes at will. Of course, bad people come to take advantage of his weakness at this time, and most of what happens is how Izark and Noriko fight off the bandits. Here again, Noriko shows off her strength and actually protects Izark for a time (not by fighting, of course), something which she doesn't wonder, whine, or cry about. She just does what needs to be done. I'm really loving her character more and more.
Another character, Keimos, is shown a bit more, and it's likely he will become the antagonist. He's arrogant and full of pride, and thinks he can take on Izark by himself. Unfortunately for Izark, a man and his fortuneteller whisk Keimos away from the battle before he can become hurt, as they want to use him for some purpose.
It's not the greatest book, but it's interesting, and it's likely a bridge to other more exciting things.
Final thought: I'll keep collecting this series.
