The man trying to steal it already owns another Inazumaâ€”one whose deadly power eventually comes to control all who wield it., ,Marikoâ€™s investigation has put her on a collision course with a curse centuries old and as bloodthirsty as ever. She is only the latest in a long line of warriors and soldiers to confront this power, and even the sword she learns to wield could turn against her.
