The Heroic Legend of Arslan Vol. 18

The epic of palace intrigue and battlefield glory, from the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist, that became a hit anime franchise!

Crown Prince Arslan has bided his time in the southern port city of Gilan long enough: with Hilmes’s betrayal leaving the Lusitanian forces in shambles, the time to retake the fallen capital is nigh. But as Arslan and his allies undertake their final preparations to free their country and their people from the invaders, Hilmes and King Andragoras each make their own moves to secure power over Pars for themselves.

Series Overview: Backed up by only a few companions, including the philosopher/swordsman/tactician Narsus and his young servant, Elam; Pharangese, an aloof, cold priestess; and Gieve, a travelling musician and con-man, Arslan must stand against overwhelming odds to assemble an army strong enough to liberate his nation from the Lusitanian army which is led by the elusive warrior known as “Silvermask”.
