Sonja has killed the wizard that she was hired to defeat, but the wizard's curse has made her a danger to the villagers who had hired her. Now with the wizard's equally deadly brother on his way to town, Sonja's hands are mutilated and useless, her body wracked with fever, and her mind crippled with doubt.
With death looming, Sonja must rediscover the ability to forgive and then use her wits to save the village.
This had a really satisfying final conclusion with the arrogant wizard getting everything he deserves in a confrontation full of tension and surprises.
The lead-up was good too, with Sonja having to see the fear that she instills in innocent people.
The action was gory in places, but there were some really spectacular big action panels, and some nice character work in the art as well.
Rating: 8/10
