SOME LEGENDS ARE BORN

OTHERS ARE MADE

FEW ARE BOTH

Seventeen-year-old Ripley is the daughter of legendary parents. In a repressive medieval patriarchal society, she unwittingly becomes a lightning rod for change as she strives to fulfill her controversial ambition to become Valor's first female soldier.

"She was a feisty, stubborn, impetuous, exasperating, infuriating thorn in Takeshi's side."

Forces of good and evil collide as a tempest threatens to engulf her and destroy everything she holds dear.
