Only knights can summon Shining Armor. Only knights can save the realm from destruction after the Good King's son dies. Seventy years ago, the Dragon Order vanished, leaving the continent with only twelve knightly orders, until a soloknight mysteriously emerges on a quest to Dunaguard to meet Duke Akitomo, where he claims to be from the thirteenth.

The soloknight, accompanied by the spirited Kichi, who wants to be the most chivalrous knight, the tavern girl Ema, and the noble knight Masahide, sets off on a perilous journey to the Duke's castle. But this is no leisurely stroll through the countryside. Their path is fraught with danger, deception, and dazzling duels as they find themselves thrust into a high-stakes tournament.

For a knight to lose his order is a disgrace, so the soloknight asks the Duke to have the resident sorcerer drain him of his powers. However, first, there's a tale to be told. Amidst the clashing of swords and the crowd's roar, our heroes must rise up to meet the challenge.

What to expect (no spoilers):

This is a multi-POV adventure. It starts out following one and expands to include four, including an antihero.

It's high fantasy with stats at the end of each chapter. It may feel classic at first, but it's inspired by modern takes and anime.
