X/1999 Prelude

Their Destiny was Foreordained The fate of the world is at stake in this gorgeously illustrated masterwork from the four-woman artistic team Clamp! Kamui Shiro is a young man followed by mystery. Taken from Tokyo by his mother when only a child, Kamui left behind his dearest friends-the gentle Kotori and her brother Fuma-in the aftermath of a mysterious accident that claimed their mother's life. Returning to Tokyo after his mother's death, Kamui is a changed young man-moody and distant to his old friends, yet determined to protect them from the dark forces that swirl around him. For he is the nexus of a great cataclysm to come, and inheritor to a strange destiny that could decide the fate of the entire world. Prelude As Kamui's future visions worsen, other seers and psychics across the nation begin to turn their eyes toward Tokyo, and the lines between light and dark begin to be drawn....Clamp Staff is the author of 'X/1999 Prelude', published 2003 under ISBN 9781569319499 and ISBN 1569319499.
