The Story Thus Far (spoilers ahead!)

The Kingdom of Tirani is a thriving land of proud military tradition. The immortal king Rygus Ferran Tirani has ruled for 700, and would like nothing more than to die. Would-be successors from the families of his 10 wives over the years collaborate and compete to assassinate him, directly and indirectly. But nothing seems to be working.

Nothing, that is, until a magic-wielding stranger with a single demon wing appears in the monster pit, having dispatched the toughest monsters among them without a trace. King Tirani is soon convinced that he is Suzamus, the god of Death, and makes a deal for his immortal soul. Everyone is thrilled... except the royal family, who remain skeptical. Is this man really a god of death? If not, what's his motivation?

Meanwhile, in the royal prison where challengers to the king are kept, a boy meets a woman clad in armor, and is soon convinced she is Princess Sydney of Sydnonia. When she learns of the winged man, she vows to stop him... just as soon as they can figure out how to escape the prison and its warden, Loquarius. They meet an unlikely ally in Edron, the heir to the throne. Is Sydney really an assassin princess? And will she escape to stop the winged man?

In the village below the castle, Rana finds an abandoned clocktower, and sets to work in an effort to help two young girls who run an infamously bad bakery with a mysterious request from the castle. Things get a little more complicated when magic starts to transform the villagers. Can Rana save them?
