Claymore

Clare and the orphan Raki travel to the town of Rabona to hunt a Yoma that has been stalking priests in the cathedral, but when they arrive, Clare senses this is not an ordinary Yoma and must use all her skills to defeat it.

Teresa, a powerful Claymore, saves a young girl from her bandit captors and leaves the child in the care of some villagers. But triumph quickly gives way to despair when the situation takes a tragic turn, and Teresa is forced to kill a human--an act that will condemn her to death at the hands of her own kind.

When a group of Claymore come to kill Teresa for killing a human, she slays them all except the powerful ringleader, whom she spares. This display of human weakness will have devastating consequences for them all.

After her battle with Ophelia, Clare is imprisoned with other Claymores, while the Yoma join forces and prepare for battle.

Clare and a group of Claymores are sent to the north to battle a group of Yoma that have banded together under the command of Isley, a powerful Awakened Being. When the warriors arrive, they find their new enemies to be unusually dangerous. They are incredibly strong, well organized, and seem to have a plan to dominate the entire region. Will the Claymores be able to stop this monstrous army?

"Seven years have passed since the devastating battle in Pieta, and now a new generation of warriors carries on the fight against the Awakened Ones. However, the mystery of Clare's fate, and that of her comrades, resurfaces after a surprising discovery made by a young Claymore."--Cover
