On her 16th birthday, hot-tempered high schooler Alice Kamiya gets one "present" she never expected... She comes face-to-face with an ancient goddess and is given a second chance at life. But when Alice finds herself alive again, things start getting weird around her hometown in northern Japan. Like, "I just ran into an Oni demon and killed it with a magical yo-yo" kind of weird. But who cares about dreams when the people you love start turning up dead, one by one? If she doesn't find a way to harness her newfound magical powers, the monsters will keep tearing her hometown and loved ones apart. But if she does find a way to harness her newfound magical powers, she comes one step closer to learning the horrible truth about herself. *Note: The Soulbound Sorceress series consists of fast-paced action-adventures that end on shocking, mind-blowing cliffhangers. This volume is a new edition of The Soulbound Scar. This series was originally published under the name "Demi-Girl: The Last Aeon."
