Sinopsis
In the post-apocalyptic Junkyard, a mysterious religious order known only as the Church watches over the brutal competition between warring tribes as they vie to unify six territories and thereby gain access to Nirvana, the promised land. In the wake of one particularly unusual battle, Serph, the leader of the upstart Embryon tribe, rescues a strange girl and discovers that he and his fellow fighters have gained the ability to transform into terrifying demon warriors. But these new abilities, along with this enigmatic girl named Sera, threaten to upend the balance of power not only in the Junkyard, but within the Embryon itself. (Source: English book jacket)
Contexto
Original story authored by Godai, Yu. Quantum Devil Saga is a series inspired by the widely popular Megami Tensei video games. In 2000, video game developer Atlus approached Godai with an offer to write the original story for a new title in the series, and she submitted a proposal for Digital Devil Saga. Godai worked as a part of the game's development, writing a story that could work both as a game and a novel, until reasons such as declining health and her struggle to adjust to life in Tokyo saw her departure from the project. After leaving, her contract with Atlus allowed her to continue work on what she had been writing. In 2011, nearly seven years after the release of the first Digital Devil Saga video game, Godai's novel series Quantum Devil Saga began publication, providing an alternate, unrestricted version of her original story.
