Barsalayaa Shefali, famed Qorin adventurer, and the spoiled divine warrior empress O-Shizuka have survived fights with demon armies, garnered infamy, and ruled an empire. Raised together since birth, then forced into exile after their wedding and reunited amidst a poisonous invasion, these bold warrior women have faced monumental adventures and catastrophic battles.

Since she was a child, the divine Empress O Shizuka has believed she was an untouchable god. When her uncle, ruler of the Hokkaran Empire, sends her on a suicide mission as a leader of the Imperial Army, the horrors of war cause her to question everything she knows.
