"In order for something to be obtained, something of equal value must be lost."
Alchemy is bound by this Law of Equivalent Exchange—something the young
brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric only realize after attempting human
transmutation: the one forbidden act of alchemy. They pay a terrible
price for their transgression—Edward loses his left leg, Alphonse his
physical body. It is only by the desperate sacrifice of Edward's right
arm that he is able to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor.
Devastated and alone, it is the hope that they would both eventually
return to their original bodies that gives Edward the inspiration to
obtain metal limbs called "automail" and become a state alchemist, the
Fullmetal Alchemist.
Three years of searching later, the brothers seek the Philosopher's
Stone, a mythical relic that allows an alchemist to overcome the Law of
Equivalent Exchange. Even with military allies Colonel Roy Mustang,
Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, and Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes on their
side, the brothers find themselves caught up in a nationwide conspiracy
that leads them not only to the true nature of the elusive Philosopher's
Stone, but their country's murky history as well. In between finding a
serial killer and racing against time, Edward and Alphonse must ask
themselves if what they are doing will make them human again... or take
away their humanity.
