This thrilling instalment brings together gripping elements of fantasy and horror, brilliantly illustrated and now presented in a stunning 7x10 deluxe hardcover edition that truly does justice to the vivid and intricate artwork.
In this volume, we return to the intense and unforgiving landscape where Griffith, once the charismatic leader of the Band of the Hawk mercenaries, faces his most crucial and damning decision. In a desperate bid for transcendence, he offers his loyalty and life to the demonic forces of the Godhand, seeking a rebirth that promises both exquisite beauty and unimaginable power. Yet, this pact comes at an unfathomable cost.
Standing in opposition is Guts, the Hawks’ relentless berserker champion, a warrior driven by perseverance and fury. As Griffith's transformation ensues, Guts must plunge into the very depths of perdition itself, determined to rescue his beloved Casca from the vile and depraved forces that reside in the world beyond, a place where horrors only Hell can manifest threaten to fracture both mind and soul.

About the Author
While attending college at Nihon University, in 1988, Kentaro Miura debuted a 48-page manga known as Berserk Prototype, an introduction to the current Berserk fantasy world. It went on to win Miura a prize from the Comi Manga School. In 1989, after receiving a doctorate degree, Kentarou started a project titled King of Wolves based on a script by Buronson, writer of Hokuto no Ken (Fist Of The North Star). In 1990, the first volume Berserk was released with a relatively limited success. Miura again collaborated with Buronson on manga entitled Japan. Miura's fame grew after Berserk began "The Golden Age" story arc and the huge success of this masterpiece made of him one of the most prominent contemporary manga artists. In 1997, Miura supervised the production of 25 anime episodes of Berserk that aired in the same year on NTV. The series has also spawned a whole host of merchandise, both official and fan made, ranging from statues and action figures, to key rings, video games, and a trading card game. In 2002, Kentaro Miura received the second place in the Tezuka Osamu (Astro Boy) Cultural Prize of Excellence for Berserk. The author lives in Tokyo, Japan.
