The manga is set in the 12th-century, in the time of Genghis Khan. It tells about Altojin, a determined girl warrior with a mysterious tattoo. Abandoned as a child, Altojin grew up in the grassland plains of Chigul, in the Chiguru Khanate.[4]

One day she goes on a hunting trip with the Prince Olsbolt, and saves him from an assassination attempt. Prince Olsbolt thinks the assassin was sent by his father, who is also the ruler of Chigul. Therefore, he decides to kill his father, and in doing so he also takes back his former lover, who had been married to his father. After killing his father the khan, Olsbolt hides at Altojin's house.
