The Black Swordsman Guts' former captain and lover, Casca, has been taken by the Holy Iron Chain Knights to the "Tower of Conviction" of the fanatic torturer of the Holy See, Mozgus, who plans to treat the rumored witch to the proper agonies of the damned, but Guts is on his way to rescue Casca and dish out some chastisement of his own to any who get in his way. But forces in the demonic realms are in motion and are being drawn to the torture tower...

The bewildered and near-mad Casca, former captain of the Band of the Hawk--and former lover of Guts, the Black Swordsman--has been adopted by Midland's pagan cults as a witch because of her demonic Mark of Sacrifice. The Holy Iron Chain Knights' campaign to rid the kingdom of heretics by any means necessary puts Casca in mortal danger, and Guts is having none of it, but all parties involved may end up with more than they bargained for as demonic spirits,...

"Now equipped with the mystical Berserker Armor, Guts fights on against the dragon form of Grunbeld and his legion of fanatic apostle soldiers. But the very armor that holds Guts together, in a nightmarishly literal sense, might be the last straw that tears his tortured mind apart!

Broken beyond healing, a frail ghost of his former glory, Griffith is now more an object of pity than a man, and the Hawks, who've grimly hung together under duress and death during his absence, are now on the verge of splintering to the winds. But Griffith's dreams and ambitions, built on the bodies of his troops and the countless enemies they have slain, have not...

The Band of the Hawk may have been the most formidable band of fighters around, but when matched up against an army of abyssal monstrosities, earthly fighting skills don't amount to a hill of beans. The Hawks' tortured and mutilated former leader, Griffith, has used the accursed Crimson Behelit to open the gates to a shadowy plane of unspeakable abominations, the realm of the demon lords of the Godhand, who are willing to transform Griffith into a...

"Guts, the feared Black Swordsman, is on the rampage -- and it's personal. Mozgus, the malefic master Inquisitor of the Holy See, in his murderous campaign against heretics, has captured Guts' former lover Casca and has her at the ready to be burned at the stake in the Tower of Conviction, little knowing that Casca's demonic Mark of Sacrifice is drawing hideous dark powers to the Tower. It'll take everything Guts has and more to defeat Mozgus-who...
