In a realm where a queen is chosen every few years by winning a fierce tournament, every fighter must be formidable. One young warrior, however, suffers an early defeat that exposes her lack of experience despite her ample physical strength. Although defeat could have been fatal, she is saved by a powerful stranger. Yet the stranger’s motives are not entirely pure, and her scheming family forces her into a prison cell. She is released when the inexperienced warrior she saved, weary of her noble life, sets out to prove herself.
