Crow and Iris pay a visit to the city of Salem’s magus knight division commander, an ominous ex-warrior known as “the Crusher.” But introductions get awkward when Crow learns that Vita von Kaambl, the crazed young magus knight that attacked him, is actually nobility! Now Crow has his work cut out for him to keep up his heroic image. What would a hero do in his shoes? Should he condemn Vita or allow the Crusher to pardon the noble girl?
Unfortunately, the question is promptly answered for him when Crow’s cursed sword drags him back into action. With Salem under attack by a shadowy organization that seeks to bring down the empire, it’s up to Crow to stop them—whether he likes it or not!
