Synopsis

The Niflheim Empire has spent years warring with the kingdom of Lucis, and they're winning. They've conquered most of the world and now they want what Lucis has: the last known Crystal, sitting in the capital city of Insomnia. To keep his people safe, King Regis uses the Crystal's power to throw up a magical barrier around Insomnia. He also creates an elite military unit called the Kingsglaive, soldiers who draw their strength directly from the king himself to defend Lucis' borders against the empire and anyone else foolish enough to attack. Nyx is one of these soldiers—famous among his peers as "The Hero," though mostly because of his ego and his tendency to try and save everyone single-handedly. His arrogance eventually costs him. He disobeys orders, gets demoted, and finds himself stuck on gate duty instead of real combat. But things get interesting when rumors start spreading that King Regis is about to sign a peace treaty with their enemies.
