When Dias is hit hard by a high fever, it looks like he’ll be out of action for months…that is, until the twins nurse him back to health with the help of a mysterious herb. Is it the sanjivani of legend? But Dias has no time to think about it once Eldan arrives with news that will impact the future of Iluk Village and maybe even the entire Kingdom of Sanserife! And it couldn’t happen at a worse time–as summer fades into autumn, the inhabitants of the grasslands must prepare for a long, harsh winter.

Dias’s attempts at farming are finally paying off (thanks to Senai and Ayhan’s secret forestkin magic!) but he won’t be able to rest on his laurels just yet. The village needs to work out a more effective form of governance; meanwhile, the dogkin arrive with a literally monstrous surprise in tow. And outside the Nezrose domain lurks a burgeoning threat: a vengeful Princess Diane dreaming of conquest. Oh, and in the midst of all this, guard captain Klaus falls in love!

Iluk welcomes Dias’s friends—and a new herd of baars! This thrusts Francis into a battle for leadership over the village baars; does he have the chops to beat his new rival? On top of that, Alna’s brother Zorg has returned to rescue his little sister, convinced that she’s been forced to marry the despicable and dastardly new domain lord. Can Dias clear the air (and stop his wife from murdering her brother) in time to thwart a dangerous threat looming over the village?

The war with Princess Diane has come to a surprising end, and peace has returned to Nezrose. Still, a domain lord’s work is never done, and Dias and Alna must turn their attention to more mundane but equally pressing challenges. First, their growing economy presents a host of issues heralded by the arrival of a new yet oddly familiar merchant. Next, Dias has to figure out how to deal with the unintended consequences of his generosity to the dogkin. Finally, Dias faces his greatest challenge ever: a big-time wedding!

After decades of war, Dias returns home as a hero and is rewarded with his own domain. When he arrives at his new lands, however, they turn out to be little more than endless grassy plains without even a single subject. Literally put out to pasture, Dias is stumped as to how to live any life other than a soldier’s. But when a horned girl named Alna crosses his path, Dias takes his first steps to being the lord of a not-so-empty frontier.

Dias is getting used to life on the plains with his new wife—er, fiancée—Alna, and they even have actual subjects now: Dias’s old war buddy Klaus, and a group of refugees fleeing a civil uprising in the neighboring Kasdesk domain. Dias is desperate to raise the population in Nezrose without resorting to slavery, but he’s about to get a visit from none other than the lord of the Kasdesk domain himself, an infamous womanizer always accompanied by a harem of slaves. Dias will soon learn that as on the battlefield, politics and diplomacy is all about seeing who’s friend or foe.
