The Holy, The Broken, and The Bitter Book One of The Knights of Célesia Saga

War is coming to Célesia, and five unlucky souls will be her heroes.

Lord Adélard Eisenhardt, once the kingdom's greatest knight, is dragged out of retirement and back into a court rotting with ambition for the crown and apathy for its subjects. As foreign banners dance on the horizon, he must protect the boy king, while his daughter faces the same ruthless politics he so despises.

Léontine walks the halls of power, determined to master court politics and hold onto her conscience in a world that rewards cruelty.

Fleur, a spellsword born of sin and shame, dares to confront the family that never wanted her.

Bruno, a noble squire with a poet's heart, believes knighthood is the only way to reclaim his family's lost pride.

And Braun, a lowly crusader, watches his faith unravel as God remains silent in the face of slaughter.

For listeners of dark, character-driven fantasy, this is a story of those forced to ask how far they're willing to go, and who among them will bleed to shape Célesia's future.
