A Tale of the Secret Saint Vol. 07. The story of a young woman’s quest to become a knight while hiding her saintly power—and don’t miss the original light novels, also from Seven Seas!
KINDNESS SAVES THE DAY!
During Fia’s visit to Sutherland, the inhabitants begin to make a scene, claiming she’s the reincarnation of the Great Saint based on how she looks and what she says and does. Captain Cyril sees this as an opportunity to ease tensions between the locals and the Knight Brigade and advises her to encourage this idea. She agrees to let them treat her as someone who “might” be the reborn Great Saint to improve relations between Sutherland’s inhabitants and the knights, but could this plan backfire?!
Series Overview: Born into a family of knights, Fia has always dreamed of following the path to knighthood too, except she’s the least talented of them all. On the day of her initiation test, a deadly injury prompts her life to flash before her eyes…and reveal her former life as a powerful Saint who defeated the Demon King in a bygone era! Her painful death as a Saint made her swear she’d never accept sainthood and its dangers again. But now, with her saintly power returned, Fia has the chance to be a more powerful knight than she’d ever dreamed—that is, if she can last long enough!
