He doesn't want to kill her this time he just wants to talk. She gets her wish (har har), but that evil angel shows up and delays her plans. Her plan is to find two gavriels, powerful wish coins, and wish for her and Razgut to fly through the portal to the other world. Karou's determined to get back to Brimstone's world. The bad news: Kishmish dies, and all the doors to Brimstone's world are closed. The good news: Zuzana now believes Karou. Zuzana doesn't believe her, but Kishmish, Brimstone's demonic homing-pigeon, shows up just as she's about to leave. Looking like a heroine in a Lifetime movie, Karou decides to tell her friend, Zuzana, the truth about her supernatural lifestyle. Brimstone is so not happy about this, and he chucks Karou's butt onto the cold streets of Prague. While Karou's recovering, she sneaks through a door in Brimstone's shop into the world of the chimaera. Izil throws himself off a tower in order to protect her, but that wiley Razgut blabs it all to this vengeful angel. The angel then turns to Izîl and Razgut, demanding to know more about Karou. These three angels fight, and swords and sticks and energy blasts emanate from Karou's palm tattoos. (We don't blame him for lamenting being in this boring old human world.) But that angel has other things on his mind: killing Karou. He wants this other angel, a handsome studly one, to take him back to their world. See, he's an angel too, but a gross, perverted one. This causes the invisible creature on Izîl's back, Razgut, to become visible. One of the angels has his eye on Karou, and while she's buying some teeth off Izîl the Graverobber, in Marrakesh, the angel makes his presence known. (You just have to roll with all of the fantastic elements of this story, okay?) and they seem to have been left there by angels. Weirder than a blue-haired girl bargaining for illegal ivory, we mean.īlack handprints are appearing on the magic doors that open into Brimstone's world. As she's out doing these errands, some weird stuff is happening. She doesn't know what he needs them for, just that he does.

Karou actually runs errands for Brimstone, trotting around the globe in search of teeth, both exotic animal and crusty old human chompers. And not only was Karou raised by chimaera, but she has the power to make wishes come true. Eventually it becomes clear that these creatures aren't just figments of her imagination: they're real where Karou comes from. Karou's sketchbooks are filled with fabulous creatures-Brimstone, the Wishmonger Issa, the snake goddess and more. Even though she's kind of a loner, Karou's pretty popular at school.

She's trying to come to terms with losing her virginity to Kazimir, a hot guy who turned out to be a bit of a jerk. Like any young woman searching for herself, except with blue hair, Karou wanders the streets of Prague and wonders who she really is.
