Madlax

Civil war tears through Gazth-Sonika, where the mercenary known as Madlax moves through the battlefield with an almost otherworldly precision. Far away in the calm of Nafrece, Margaret Burton leads a quiet, orderly life that seems untouched by conflict.

Despite the distance between them, Madlax and Margaret are bound by an unfolding mystery—and by a sacred book that draws the attention of the clandestine organization Enfant. As their separate paths begin to converge, the search for answers pulls them deeper into a psychological and supernatural web, where the truth may be more difficult to face than either expects.
