As the flames of revolution scour the Tearmoon Empire, its ever-selfish princess, Mia Luna Tearmoon, meets her doom by way of public beheading...only to wake up in the past as her twelve-year-old self! It’s time to shape up, recruit some allies, and exploit her knowledge of the future to save her empire! Is she up to the task? No, not even slightly! But it’s her only choice if she hopes to spare herself from yet another gruesome end at the blade of the guillotine!

Bare your blades, students of Saint-Noel! The biannual swordsmanship tournament has arrived, and the competition is as fierce as the stakes are high! Can Prince Abel prevail in a battle of wills against his chauvinistic brother? Can anyone stop Prince Sion’s meteoric rise through the ranks? When the day is finally won, who will emerge victorious as the academy’s finest swordsman? And most importantly, will Mia’s culinary genius secure Abel’s affection, or will Keithwood’s incessant nitpicking and idea-quashing ruin everything?
