In order to end the bloody rampage wrought by Lewis, Alice, and their army, the demand is made for Kaito Sena—crystal-bound savior of all—to be offered up in sacrifice. Elisabeth would sooner see the world end a thousand times over than give him up. He and Hina, who slumbers beside him, are all she has left in a world utterly bereft of hope. Choosing to find her own way forward, Elisabeth discovers Jeanne and Izabella, damnable lapdogs for the Church, barring her path. But in her darkest hour, she receives aid from a most unlikely ally—her doting father figure, Vlad Le Fanu.
