The kingdom of Fantasinia — ruled by a royal line said to descend from the gods themselves — is shattered when Emperor Gulcasa of Bronquia, who seized his throne through a violent coup, drives his armies across the border and kills King Ordene. The sole survivor of the royal family, Princess Yggdra Yuril Artwaltz, flees south with the legendary holy sword Gran Centurio — the kingdom's last hope. At the edge of the continent, she crosses paths with Milanor: a roguish thief who is about to become the most unlikely cornerstone of her liberation campaign.
