Bira is a kid who loves fishing, living and wandering in the wilderness with his dwarf grandfather. One day, his grandfather tells Bira to wait for him at the Northern part of the forest and disappears. Bira waits for many years living in forest while befriending a family of bears and staying away from humans, just as his grandfather had warned him to do. By chance, he meets and saves Tanyu’s life and later becomes friends with him. Upon hearing his friend going on a dangerous mission, Bira leaves the forest for the world outside to save his Tanyu.
It’s a world where a magical tree grows from the back of a swordsman, a mute girl is turned into a living weapon by her mother, a frost dragon roams the skies seeking vengeance, and beings with godlike powers clash for the balance of nature. In the middle of it all is Bira, an orphaned boy, happily spending his days fishing inside a secluded forest. Then he meets Tanyu, a former general on a quest to find his childhood love. Together, they journey into an enchanted landscape unlike any other.
Among the quiet villages and towns of 18th century Europe, demons known as the Ill hide within the most beautiful works of art, sparked to life by the torment of their creators.

March is one such hunter, tracking the Ill from town to town to find the antiques that contain the demons before they can possess anyone. If the worst has come to pass, March's full powers are unleashed to battle the fiendish Ill. Born of tragedy, the artifacts all have their own tales to tell, as do each of their victims. But March's story may be the most tragic of all
