When flesh-eating youma ravage Raki's village, a silver-eyed warrior called Clare arrives to exterminate the shapeshifting demons.

After Clare saves Raki's life but he's cast out from his home, the two begin traveling together, fighting youma across towns and uncovering secrets about Clare's organization and her personal vendetta against the one demon she's sworn to destroy.
