Breaking the laws of nature is a serious crime!
In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his
leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of
armor. Equipped with mechanical "auto-mail" limbs, Edward becomes a
state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his and his
brother's bodies...the legendary Philosopher's Stone.
Alchemy: the mystical power to alter the natural world; something
between magic, art and science. When two brothers, Edward and Alphonse
Elric, dabbled in this power to grant their dearest wish, one of them
lost an arm and a leg...and the other became nothing but a soul locked
into a body of living steel. Now Edward is an agent of the government, a
slave of the military-alchemical complex, using his unique powers to
obey orders...even to kill. Except his powers aren't unique. The world
has been ravaged by the abuse of alchemy. And in pursuit of the ultimate
alchemical treasure, the Philosopher's Stone, their enemies are even
more ruthless than they are...
