SOME LEGENDS ARE BORN
OTHERS ARE MADE
FEW ARE BOTH

Seventeen-year-old Ripley is the daughter of legendary parents. In a repressive medieval patriarchal society, she unwittingly becomes a lightning rod for change as she strives to fulfill her controversial ambition to become Valor's first female soldier.

"She was a feisty, stubborn, impetuous, exasperating, infuriating thorn in Takeshi's side."

"What she did was honorable. But it was also dishonorable. Only Ripley could accomplish both at the same time."

Forces of good and evil collide as a tempest threatens to engulf her and destroy everything she holds dear.
