A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS

Crown Prince Julius has been the target of a ruthless, traitorous attack. When Clarice is deemed the culprit, there’s no question that she’ll be executed.

Clarice didn't instigate the attack, of course, and Leon and Marie are set on saving her life. But that’s a tall order when not even Luxion will help them figure out what happened. Meeting someone close to Clarice gives Leon a lead...but as he delves deeper, he realizes the extent of the obstacles to clearing the girl's name. It’s no mistake that Clarice has been unjustly placed on death row. And saving her will require Leon and Marie to face foes more daunting than they expected...
