This month provides me with a good excuse to go back to the CMX well, which always produces something interesting.
SEIMADEN, by You Higuri. First published in 1993 and first published in North America in 2005.
PLOT:
Hildegarde is a beautiful, graceful dancer haunted by a past she can't remember. She spends her days in a small town full of refugees and other forgotten people like herself. She ends meeting with two men who are fascinated by her beauty and seem to know something about her past. The first is Laures, a powerful demon prince who swears he will win Hilda's heart. The other is Roddrick, the last survivor of a magical race that swears Laures is lying. Hilda isn't sure who to believe, but she fears that they will destroy the town in their pursuit to possess her.
