The war rages on, but it must end. Meridionalis lies in ruin, but the royal city must not fall. The question "why" remains and answers must be found. Destruction and bloodshed follow the Rubiconds as their rampage continues. The royal city of Geneva is the only stronghold that remains. But it, too, will be annihilated if a compromise is not reached. Sailing to the land of Rubra, Kohl, Saya, Linah, and Abra seek out the dictative emperor to beg for mercy on their lands and an end to the fighting. Failing, orders demand the men return prepared for combat, leaving their wives to be escorted to safety. Until a secret letter finds its way to Abra revealing the true cause of the war. Taking matters into their own hands, the women band together, armed with the insightful knowledge that swords and blood-spilling are not what will bring the war's end. Time is fleeting, but the women's stamina to complete their mission endures. Fate's a funny thing, but can be altered with a woman's touch. Secrets are revealed, solutions are presented, and promises are kept in this final chapter of the saga!
