As a boy, Elias learned the hard way what happens when you don’t heed the old tales. Nine years after his lack of superstition got his father killed, he’s grown into a young man of piety, with a deep reverence for the hallowed sea and her fickle favor.

Since the days of the early Church, Christians have recounted the lives of saints to explain the gospel, soften rebellious hearts, and inspire believers. Saint Athenagoras of Athens (133-190 AD) wrote, in A Plea for the Christians: “Among us you will find uneducated persons, craftsmen, and old women, who, if they are unable in words to prove the benefit of our doctrine, yet by their deeds they exhibit the benefit arising from their persuasion of its truth. They do not rehearse speeches, but exhibit good works; when struck, they do not strike again; when robbed, they do not go to law; they...

Sei's life has just returned to a semblance of normal when she's once more summoned to the palace. A foreign prince is coming to the kingdom, ostensibly to study abroad, but his true intentions are shrouded in mystery. In order to protect Sei, the kingdom instructs her to hide her true identity as the Saint and retreat to the safety of the palace. While she complies at first, she soon finds herself drawn to the prince—especially when it becomes clear that she might be the only person who can help him.

Sei's many accomplishments as the Saint have earned her a slew of marriage proposals, and it's honestly kind of a nightmare. Fortunately, she has the opportunity to escape all that with a trip to the Hawke Borderlands, the ancestral home of her dear Ice Knight, Albert Hawke. Less fortunately, she must go there in order to cleanse a new wellspring of miasma and the accompanying swarm of monsters. Little does she know, Albert is hoping the expedition will bear fruits beyond mere monster hunting. Will the Ice Knight finally make his move?

Grand Magus Yuri Drewes has risen from his coma, and he wants to teach Sei how to wield her magic. Just one problem: Yuri definitely suspects Sei's the Saint, but Sei's not ready to be outed. Even worse, under Yuri's tutelage, Sei's power continues to grow, and her true strength may soon be impossible to conceal.

For over two years, Sei has traveled the lands of the Kingdom of Salutania to purify the miasma and subdue the monsters that plague her new home. However, while Sei may soon bring this chapter of her life to a close, the next has already begun. The time has come for the Saint to choose her future husband. While Sei's heart has long since belonged to a certain icy-eyed knight, many others seek her hand in marriage. Now Sei and Albert must find a way to confess their feelings before a certain noble's ambitions tear them apart forever.

Now that Sei has performed multiple miracles in the capital and beyond, her reputation is on the rise, as are her business ventures. Unfortunately, not everyone harbors entirely noble intentions for the Saint. Some would use her for their own ends. That's why Sei's friends and benefactors want to help her start her own company, as well as to secure her official place in high society—before someone tries to claim everything she's made, and everything she is, for themselves.
