Escaflowne: A Girl in Gaea

Hitomi Kanzaki is overwhelmed by despair, wishing only to sleep and disappear from the world. That anguish draws the attention of Lord Folken, who transports her to the distant land of Gaea. There, she is hailed as the Wing Goddess—an enigmatic figure said to be able to awaken the legendary Dragon Armor known as Escaflowne.

In Gaea, she crosses paths with King Van, the last survivor of the White Dragon Clan. Haunted by the destruction of his kingdom and driven by a vow of vengeance against the Black Dragon Clan, Van has devoted himself to life by the sword. With the Wing Goddess’s arrival, the fate of Gaea rests with Hitomi, and Escaflowne’s power may become the force that leads the world toward peace—or into catastrophe.
