Breaking the laws of nature is a serious crime!
In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Equipped with mechanical “auto-mail” limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his and his brother’s bodies...the legendary Philosopher’s Stone.
The raid on the Devil's Nest becomes a slaughter, as government troops--led by the Führer President himself, King Bradley--exterminate the half-human forces of the Homunculus Greed. But will Ed and Al survive the battle unchanged? As Greed is sent to meet his maker, foreign travelers arrive in Amestris, having crossed the great desert from the eastern country of Xing. Their names are Mei and Ling, and they've come for the Philosopher's Stone...and a secret even the Elric brothers never imagined...
This is definitely an awesome series! I really wasn't expecting what happened toward the beginning and middle of this one! And seeing how fast Ed manages to mangle that auto-mail so quickly I really don't blame Winry at all for her outbursts (I use to hate them in the show).
