The Ballad of a Bard

What would happen if the six Saints that ruled over the world, grew bored and decided to play amongst the mortals? They’d fall in love, of course. Crimson and her brother, Cobalt have been alone for the past eight years. With no one but herself to support them, and her brother’s mysterious illness continuously killing him, it leaves her with no choice but to enter the Blades of Blood. A deadly fighting competition down in the slums of the city for those who are willing to risk it all. The masculine alias Red Lyric allows her to compete in the games where women aren’t even allowed to enter. A name that has risen to fame over the last half decade, one that’s becoming dangerously known. When the Prince of Tazali begins his search for her alter ego, Crimson finds herself drawn towards the helping hands of Captain Westley Saint, who offers a chance of a better life for her and her brother, but it means tucking Red Lyric away for good.
