The bibliophagic tactician is once again thrust into a siege! Answering a summons to the capital, he must aid Second Prince Latrielle in his pursuit of the High Britannian Army. Altina pushes onward even during Regis's absence-having taken his words to heart, she builds up her forces as she awaits his return. Meanwhile, Third Prince Bastian has returned to Belgaria. Carrying on the will of a friend, he too is about to take a stand to change the nation. Three royals, each with their own ideals, take their first steps down the paths they believe in. Here is the ninth volume of a tale of war, love, and politics, woven by the bookworm and the sword princess.
