Illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano.
Even a reluctant hero
can't refuse the last request of a beautiful woman. On her deathbed, the mortally wounded woman gives him a strange gem and asks him to deliver
the priceless stone to her sister, far off in a North Sea fishing
village. D's journey is made ever more perilous by a series of
scoundrels and rogues hired by the girl's murderer. They'll stop at
nothing to claim the jewel. Will they catch him? Hideyuki Kikuchi's
crackling narrative and Yoshitaka Amano's imaginative artwork make this a must-read entry in the series.
