Berserk, vol. 17

Warrior supreme Guts, the Black Swordsman, has seen better days -- and more popular -- in the kingdom of Midland, a land he once defended as captain of the Band of the Hawk. But the Hawks were betrayed and slaughtered, and now the hyolier-than-thou Holy Iron Chain Knights have captured Guts and plan to whip some repentance into him -- literally. But Guts isn`t so easily held at bay, at when he manages to escape with the Holy Knights` leader, Farnese, as his hostage, the demons that are drawn to Guts` Brand of Sacrifice are all too willing to show her the teeming darkness in her own soul!
