The Liberators have a new mission: protect Queen Lyutillis Haltina of the beastmen republic from the fanatical armies of the Church. The Church will stop at nothing to carry out their god's orders and kidnap Lyutillis, last of the seven ancient magic users. But not all the Liberators can reach the republic before the Church lays siege. Now, Miledi, Naiz, and Meiru must hold out until help arrives--and they must hope their friends return before the Church's own divine backup descends.
