Legend has it that the world is divided into two realms - the yang of humans and the yin of mythical beasts - and they are constantly at odds with each other. Centuries ago, two warring clans struck an unbreakable oath and retreated to their respective domains. In a tender gesture of devotion to the human queen, the monarch of all mythical creatures bestowed upon her his own sword and vowed to safeguard her and her descendants for all time.
As the imminent outbreak of a third war looms, a valiant swordsman, descended from the Holy Queen herself, has a momentous encounter with the distant, enigmatic King of the beasts. And so, the tale unfolds.
