When the gods finally answered Alcran’s desperate prayers, no one expected Jasper.

Summoned from Earth. Taken from his peaceful days of music and softer than silk life, Jasper Holloway is delicate, gentle, and wholly unprepared to wield a sword, let alone stand against the Demon Lord prophesied to end all things. As the king’s appointed knight, it falls to you to shape this fragile young man into a hero within ten short years, or watch your realm fall to ruin.

But training Jasper proves harder than any battle. He flinches from raised voices, weeps at the thought of killing, and seems far too soft for a world carved by steel and dark magic. Yet beneath his trembling, there’s a fragile spark that refuses to die.

Will it be enough to save your people, or will you have to shoulder the weight of prophecy yourself when the time comes? And if so, what are you going to do about this scared young man who looks at you like you can do no wrong?
