Red River Vol. 05

Red River Vol. 05

Yuri, a teen of the 21st century, has been transported to ancient Anatolia as part of a scheme by the evil Nakia, Queen of the Hittites. Only the intervention of Nakia’s stepson, Prince Kail, saved Yuri from the Queen’s bloodthirsty intentions. As an unintended consequence, the people of the kingdoms of Anatolia have embraced Yuri as the incarnation of the great war-goddess Ishtar.

Ancient Hittite royal Prince Kail and modern teen Yuri continue to battle to save Kail’s kingdom and to be with one another!

The two journey to the city of Malatia to prepare for battle with the enemy’s armies. Yuri plots to foil the plans of the Prince of Darkness. If her attempt fails and she becomes a prisoner of the evil prince, she may have to surrender her relationship with Kail–and her way back to modern-day Japan!
