What the Protective God takes will never return.
A god hides and protects an ancient land from foreign enemies, but to do so, sacrifices must be made. In recent times, the god has been encroaching more on humankind, with only people with special powers, Quietists, able to drive them back. An unlikely trio, each of whom has lost something dear to them, find themselves journeying to unravel the secrets of the Protective God and the Quietists. Little do they know that what they have lost, the frequent appearance of the god, and the need for sacrifices are all connected…
Horon Of The Closed Country Vol. 1 by Sen is currently available in both print and digital formats from the Manga Mavericks Store and major retailers.
