Master of the Abyssal Forge: Volume 1 - Paperback

All Astolphos Auriolis wants is to live a quiet life and repent for the disaster he had wrought upon the continent of Aurillia a century ago. Still, a deal is a deal, and the consequences of turning down the request of the Queen herself will only lead to the ruination of the remaining smolders of what he wants to protect. To complicate matters even more, the knight who has to escort him is one of his descendants. The knight, Lunarias, sees nothing but a monster before her. She has trained and fought to protect the citizens of Aurillia from Abyssals like Astolphos. Her duty is to kill these monsters, not escort them, and especially not to an audience with the Queen. She does not know what she has done to deserve such a task as punishment, but she will carry it through to the end, for that is her duty. This is the start of their journey to the capital.
