the meaning of 'meguri'


I found this sentence on a game cover. (I left out unimportant parts) I am
especially wondering about 'meguri' and 'uzumaku'.

Shoujo wo meguri, … tairiku ni jaaku na yabou ga uzumaku.

I have used hours trying to understand it. I read it off a game cover, mostly
as kanjies without furigana. I have read what the words are supposed to mean
in dictionaries, but the sentence doesn't seem to make sense to me.

My best guess is: Upon the return of this young girl, the continent was swept
with evil ambition!

Can someone more acquainted with these words and the jargon help solve this
mystery!




巡り【めぐり】 is the masu-stem of the godan verb 巡る, which means "to go around" or,
by extension, "to concern". 少女を巡り can be translated as "concerning a girl",
"about a girl" or "over a girl", depending on the words used with it. For
example, you can use 巡る like so:

> 彼らは座席を巡って争った。  
>  They fought _over_ a seat.
>
> 3匹の犬を巡る物語  
>  a tale _about_ three dogs

大陸【たいりく】に邪悪【じゃあく】な野望【やぼう】が渦巻く【うずまく】 literally means "on/around the continent,
evil ambitions swirl". The meaning of each word should be fairly
straightforward as long as you have access to a decent dictionary.

So the whole sentence is basically saying many people all over the continent
have evil ambitions concerning this girl. Feel free to rephrase this to make
it sound more dramatic in English.
