Alfheim no Kishi

Princess Rosely’s fate was sealed when she first picked up a sword to fight an evil wizard. Little did she know the legendary Lucilys, Sword of Light, had chosen her to be its heiress, and it will bring her peaceful life in the castle of Altodias to ruin. Soon, the young princess is faced with the pain of losing all the people that she loved, and being separated from her twin brother Rolant, the heir of Silvan, the Sword of the Moon. Rosely surely would have died floating in the cold river if she had not been saved by the handsome green-eyed king of the Alf. Growing up as the king's foster daughter in Alfheim, Rosely learns sword and sorcery from the Alf, hoping for the day she can avenge her lost country. Will she be able to fulfill her destiny? What does the deadly sword Lucilys have in store for her? Will resentment drive her into insanity? Who was the one behind all of her misfortune? And who is the chosen owner of Soles—Sword of Sunshine, the third of the three ancient magic swords? This fantastic tale will make you want to believe in fairies again! *Note: Won the Excellence Award at the 37th Japan Cartoonists Association Awards in 2008.*
