The story
What's it about?
Brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric break alchemy's greatest taboo — human transmutation — to bring their mother back, and pay horrifically: Ed loses an arm and a leg, Al loses his whole body. Their search for the Philosopher's Stone to restore themselves uncovers a conspiracy at the heart of their country.
