With the hieral menace Ripple now safe and the school in a reconstruction phase, Inglis-former hero-king and current talk of the town-is summoned by the king himself to the palace, where she's offered a promotion to captain of the Royal Guard!
This leap up the ranks is as unconventional as it would be desirable to almost anyone else, but Inglis turns it down as a matter of course, preferring to someday fight on the front lines. This means turning down a celebration feast at the palace, but an eccentric man named Count Weismar is more than pleased to make a deal: they be his new pair of leading ladies in exchange for food.
'Sorry, but I'm worried about Rani. I've gotta be somewhere I can keep an eye on her.'
A beautiful dancer wipes out her foes in this fourth act!
Inglis and her friends decide to protect Ripple at the academy until the problem of her attracting magicite beasts is solved. As the academy's elite are gathered, Inglis makes the acquaintance of a young man who's the only current student with a special-class Rune and a Runeless girl who shows exceptional strength. Inglis is already feeling great as the number of strong people around her continues to increase, and when she hears of a Steelblood plot to assault the palace, that same excited grin is back on her face.
'Seems like I'll get to put my all into a fight for the first time in a while!'
A reborn beauty is already turning heads at school! The old Hero-King Inglis was thrown far into the future, reborn as a beautiful girl. Now, together with Rafinha, her lifelong friend, and Leone, an aspiring knight the two met on their journey to the capital, Inglis studies the ways of war at the royal knights' academy-where she's turning heads with her battle prowess more than for her looks! School life isn't all about making new friends, though, as she hears rumors of a Rune-Eater that targets knights . . . 'A Rune-Eater, huh. Sounds fun. I bet it's pretty tough.' This extraordinary squire marches on through fun with friends and all the fights she could ask for!
From his deathbed, Hero-King Inglis, the divine knight and master of all he surveys, gazes down on the empire he built with his mighty hand. Having devoted his life to statecraft and his subjects' well-being, his one unfulfilled wish is to live again, for himself this time: a warrior's life he'd devoted himself to before his rise to power.
His patron goddess, Alistia, hears his plea and smiles upon him, flinging his soul into the far future. Goddesses work in mysterious ways-not only is Inglis now the daughter of a minor noble family, but at her first coming-of-age ceremony at six, she's found ineligible to begin her knighthood!
However, for a lady of Inglis's ambition, this is less a setback and more the challenge she was (re)born to overcome. 'It's not the blood that runs through your veins that makes a knight; it's the blood you shed on the battlefield!' The curtain rises on the legend of an extraordinary lady squire reborn to master the blade!
June Hur, critically acclaimed author of The Silence of Bones and The Forest of Stolen Girls, returns with The Red Palace―a third evocative, atmospheric historical mystery perfect for fans of Courtney Summers and Kerri Maniscalco.
To enter the palace means to walk a path stained in blood...
Joseon (Korea), 1758. There are few options available to illegitimate daughters in the capital city, but through hard work and study, eighteen-year-old Hyeon has earned a position as a palace nurse. All she wants is to keep her head down, do a good job, and perhaps finally win her estranged father's approval.
But Hyeon is suddenly thrust into the dark and dangerous world of court politics when someone murders four women in a single night, and the prime suspect is Hyeon's closest friend and mentor. Determined to prove her beloved teacher's innocence, Hyeon launches her own secret investigation.
In her hunt for the truth, she encounters Eojin, a young police inspector also searching for the killer. When evidence begins to point to the Crown Prince himself as the murderer, Hyeon and Eojin must work together to search the darkest corners of the palace to uncover the deadly secrets behind the bloodshed.
