Claymore, Vol. 27

A New York Times best selling, multi-arc, character-driven story with great battles and strong-willed females that will appeal to males and females alike.

In a world where monsters called Yoma prey on humans and live among them in disguise, humanity's only hope is a new breed of warrior known as Claymores. Half human, half monster, these silver-eyed slayers possess supernatural strength but are condemned to fight their savage impulses or lose their humanity completely.

As rebel warrior Clare prepares to face former Claymore Priscilla in a climactic final battle, she is suddenly transformed by an unprecedented Yoma energy. Priscilla, whose brute and evil power once threatened to overwhelm Clare, is now matched against the reawakened spirit of another former Claymore elite—this one with strength beyond measure and the power of Clare within her!
