The Sorceress's Knight Tournament, a competition that's hosted once every five years, has come to Arcadia's Knight Academy. This tournament will decide who becomes a Knight for the newest Sorceress--who just so happens to be Caspian's childhood friend. Caspian has entered this dangerous competition. But with backstabbing nobles, under the table politics, and a dark figure working in the background, he'll need to worry about more than just winning. His life, and the life of his childhood friend, hangs in the balance.

Caspian, Elincia, and their companions are on the run. They’ve made it to Fas Sheras thanks to Dranor—the Elf whom Caspian and Erica fought so long ago—but that doesn’t mean their troubles are over. Something strange is happening beyond the forest’s border. Cleopatra is acting unusual, dark figures are moving about in the shadows, and even the Elves seem divisive on what to do about Caspian, Elincia, and those who came with them. The true enemy is on their doorstep, but no one even realizes it…

Caspian has confronted his past, become stronger both mentally and physically, and defeated the Lich King, Fragarach, thus laying his undead mother to rest. But while Lich King threat has been resolved, another one has cropped up in the port city—Dorumhold. The governing noble of the city is suspected of trafficking slaves. Sylvia has requested Caspian and Elincia to look into these allegations and, if proven true, bring the noble in question to justice. What seems like a simple task on the surface proves to be anything but as Elincia and Caspian find themselves contending with something they never expected to before. Another Sorceress, one not beholden to the Sorceress Council.

The Sorceress’s Knight Tournament, a competition that’s hosted once every five years, has come to Arcadia’s Knight Academy. This tournament will decide who becomes the knight for the newest sorceress—who just so happens to be Caspian’s childhood friend.

Caspian and Elincia have completed their mission in Dorumhold. The slave-trading operation has been wiped out and the Sorceress charged with ruling put back in place. Now, all that’s left is for them to return to Casadinia and report on their success. Or so they believe. But the danger isn’t over yet. In fact, it is just beginning. And it all starts when they return to Casadinia and find out that Sylvia is being charged with treason.

It’s been several months since Caspian became Elincia’s knight. Their work hasn’t been too difficult thus far, but that is about to change when Sylvia tasks them with settling a dispute between two MagiTech companies: Thaumaturgical Industries and Harmonix. What should have been a simple investigation regarding the buying, selling, and creation of magical matrices becomes so much more when Cassadinia is attacked by Murakumos—the powerful MagiTech automatons that devastated the Colosseum during the Sorceress’s Knight’s Tournament. Discovering who is behind these attacks will take all the wit and skill these two possess. But they may not like what happens when they discover who the culprit is.

Arcadia's Knight Academy is the premier school for young men hoping to become a Sorceress’s Knight. Only nobles, people with power and prestige, are allowed within these hallowed grounds—which explains why Caspian Ignis del Sol is hated by everyone. He's not a noble, or of even slightly noble lineage. As payment for being enrolled in the academy, Caspian is sometimes given tasks to perform that take him outside of the academy walls. This time, his job is to deliver a letter to a Sorceress living in Ashtown, but when the train that he’s riding on is attacked by a mysterious band of thugs in cloaks, he’ll find that there is a whole lot more to this quest than he first imagined.
