Claymore

A village is threatened by monsters called "Yoma". The Claymore warrior who is sent to slay the creature is unexpectedly a woman who seems more monster than human herself.

Clare's first battle with the Yoma of Rabona cathedral has left her body drained and shattered. With no time to recover, she must face the creature again after it chooses Raki as its next victim. Luckily, Raki remembers that he is carrying Clare's trusted broadsword and manages to get it into her hands. But unlike Clare, the Yoma is fighting at full strength and thirsting blood.

When a group of Claymore come to kill Teresa for killing a human, she slays them all except the powerful ringleader, whom she spares. This display of human weakness will have devastating consequences for them all.

Clare, a Claymore, a race of half-human, half-monster female warriors developed especially to fight the Yoma, monsters that prey on humans and live among them in disguise, spirits her orphan companion Raki away to safety in order to fight Ophelia, one of her own.

A powerful Claymore, Teresa, saves a young girl from her bandit captors and leaves her in the care of some villagers, but shortly after, Teresa is forced to kill a human--an act that will condemn her to death at the hands of her own kind.

"In the northern town of Pieta, Clare and a force of Claymores battle a troop of awakened Ones to prevent them from advancing south. Their orders are to hold off the evil horde at all costs, while the Organization prepares a secret weapon. Clare and her comrades realize that theirs is a suicide mission. As their friends fall one by one, the warriors band together to make their last stand."--Cover.

In a world where monsters called Yoma prey on humans and live among them in disguise, humanity's only hope is a new breed of warrior known as Claymores.

Galatea's plans to eliminate the Awakened have failed, but the arrival of Clare and her comrades turns the tide of battle. In the aftermath, Miria decides to finally share her shocking discoveries about the true nature of the Claymores.

"With the balance of power broken after Isley's defeat by the ferocious Abyss Feeders, the Organization, central hub of the Claymores, deploys Alicia and Beth to the West to go after the renegade Riful. In turn, Riful continues her scheme to Awaken the remains of the powerful Rafaela. As these dire powers all finally collide, Clare and her comrades must fight for their lives in the titanic battle that ensues."--Amazon.com.

"Priscilla relentlessly pursues Clare's destruction, while Deneve and Helen remain just as determined to protect her. But when the combined form of Luciela and Rafaela attacks, Clare and her cohorts are pulled into the twisting mass. Meanwhile, in Ribona, Miria heads east to destroy the Organization. She encounters Rubel and his secret weapons: mysterious warrior twins who may be Alicia and Beth's successors, as well as the Organization's number 10--...

"A battle begins between rebel Claymore warriors and the Organization that created them. When the team of seven notorious rebel fighters is joined by an army of newly minted soldiers loyal to rebel leader Miria, it seems their victory is a foregone conclusion. Then the Organization releases its newest secret weapon: reanimated high-level warriors from past generations of Claymores."--P. [4] of cover.
