Cornered among the slabs of the Ancient Rock, Helmina comes face-to-face with Dust, head of the West District. With Jack Frost kept busy elsewhere, fighting the West's vicious pack of warriors, Helmina is forced to test the strength of her powers against the mighty lycanthrope. Alliances will shift and new powers will rise in the battle for dominance and the mirror image!

My Review:
Noh-A is a new student at Amityville High School and she is known as a mirror-image a person who has died but has become immortal. Her blood has the ability to heal wounds.
Jack Frost is a mysterious and scary student who can withstand amount of damage and dish out as much too. He is extremely skilled and legendary fighter and is known as the strongest fighter in Amityville.
We find out that Helmina has asked Jack to protect Noh-A and to take her as a lover but he has declined. He is connected to Noh-A by a doll her father gave to her before he died who also bears his name.
I really enjoyed this manhwa with it's beautiful illustrations, storyline and characters. It's quite violent but even though this is my first time reading this series it was easy to figure out what going on and who everyone was.
4/5
