Having nearly let Elincia die after they were attacked by a squadron of magical machines, Caspian is determined to become even stronger than he is now. But there are a lot of things standing in his way. The tournament is still ongoing, and with several people plotting behind the scenes, it will take everything he has and more to protect his friend and emerge the victor from the Sorceress’ Knight’s Tournament!
The Sorceress’s Knight Tournament, a competition that’s hosted once every five years, has come to Arcadia’s Knight Academy. This tournament will decide who becomes the knight for the newest sorceress—who just so happens to be Caspian’s childhood friend.
Caspian has confronted his past, become stronger both mentally and physically, and defeated the Lich King, Fragarach, thus laying his undead mother to rest. But while Lich King threat has been resolved, another one has cropped up in the port city—Dorumhold. The governing noble of the city is suspected of trafficking slaves. Sylvia has requested Caspian and Elincia to look into these allegations and, if proven true, bring the noble in question to justice. What seems like a simple task on the surface proves to be anything but as Elincia and Caspian find themselves contending with something they never expected to before. Another Sorceress, one not beholden to the Sorceress Council.
Caspian Ignis del Sol, a knight in training, finds himself in over his head when he becomes the temporary protector of a sorceress who's been given the nickname "Succubus."

During the years 1500–1800, European performing arts reveled in a kaleidoscope of Otherness: Middle-Eastern harem women, fortune-telling Spanish 'Gypsies', Incan priests, Barbary pirates, moresca dancers, and more. In this prequel to his 2009 book Musical Exoticism, Ralph P. Locke explores how exotic locales and their inhabitants were characterized in musical genres ranging from instrumental pieces and popular songs to oratorios, ballets, and operas. Locke's study offers new insights into much-loved masterworks by composers such as Cavalli, Lully, Purcell, Rameau, Handel, Vivaldi, Gluck, and Mozart. In these works, evocations of ethnic and cultural Otherness often mingle attraction with envy or fear, and some pieces were understood at the time as commenting on conditions in Europe itself. Locke's accessible study, which includes numerous musical examples and rare illustrations, will be of interest to anyone who is intrigued by the relationship between music and cultural history, and by the challenges of cross-cultural (mis)understanding.
Caspian and Elincia are sent to investigate rumors of a necromancer raising the dead near Parume, Caspian's hometown and a place that holds many unpleasant memories for him. What started as a simple investigation soon becomes much more when Caspian and Elincia are informed that what's been raising the dead isn't a necromancer but a Lich King, the highest and most powerful class of undead monster in the entire world. Now they have to travel around the area, to see how far the corruption has spread and save anyone who is still alive. With their lives and the lives of everyone in Arcadia at stake, Caspian and Elincia will be forced to push themselves to limit if they wish to avoid a fate worse than death.
