About this ebook

Rozemyne is busy studying for her next year at the Royal Academy and working toward the installation of the new High Priest, but beneath the surface, her heart swirls in turmoil. A decree from the king requires Ferdinand to leave Ehrenfest, and as their final days together draw near, she must face losing her greatest pillar of support since she first entered the temple.

As a farewell gift, Rozemyne treats Ferdinand and their retainers to a meal at the Italian restaurant. Dark clouds loom overhead, however, and an unexpected incident threatens to separate the pair even sooner than expected. Rozemyne can only fight back the tears as she utters a prayer for Ferdinand, blessing him one last time.

Part 4 of this biblio-fantasy concludes with this volume! Also includes a collection of short stories, three of which were written for this release, as a prelude to Part 5, as well as You Shiina’s classic four-panel manga!

Ratings and reviews

another fantastic installment. I was moved to teary eyes a few times, and additionally when I realized it had ended :( looking forward to the next!

Well like always it's a wonderful time reading this series so the only downside is that we have to wait so long for the translation to come out the original series is way ahead.

This series plays like a thousand music boxes. It's world building is so perfectly tuned. It unfolds like a ballet leaving the reader forever in anticipation of the next chapter.
