And once Therese reaches the castle, she’s going to be witnessing that competition up close. The proceedings seem sure to stir up drama; can Therese avoid getting dragged into it by keeping her nose to the grindstone? (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)

The Principality of Atall lies between two great powers: the Kingdom of Allion to the west, and the Holy Dytiann Alliance to the east. Leo Attiel, the second-born prince, was sent to Allion as little more than a hostage, where he studied and trained in the military arts under a frontier general. And now, the times have reached a turning point. The relationship between Allion and Conscon Temple, a neutral land adjoining Atall, have worsened. Percy, sent from Atall as reinforcement; Camus, a warrior monk; and Kuon, a mercenary from a remote region, join forces to resist the looming threat of Allion’s army. At the centre of the fighting, the three of them and Leo are about to have their fated encounter.
