Red River Vol. 06

Red River Vol. 06

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.

Yuri, a modern-day teen, is trapped in the palace of an ancient Prince of Darkness! She waits there for Prince Kail, her savior and the only one who can send her back to modern-day Japan.

While Yuri attends to the prisoners taken by the Dark Prince’s armies, hoping they can rise up and fight again, Prince Kail and his brother, Zannzana, journey into enemy territory. If they misstep, the consequences will be great–for both the future of the Hittite empire and Yuri and Kail’s relationship!
