Plot
Thomas Cale and his two "friends" - friendship is forbidden and every kid on the Sanctuary is in general reluctant to make any closer bonds - named Kleist and Vague Henri are just more recruits of the great conflict between Redeemers and Antagonists. One day, while executing a order from a redeemer, Cale not only finds a room full of delicious food, much different from their usual fare at the Sanctuary, but he also witness something that has been told that is Devil's temptation and sinful – two beautiful girls entertaining a crowd of their jailers.

Putting himself and his companions in a mortal danger, Cale assassinates the Lord Redeemer Picarbo as a revenge for killing one of the two girls, while also rescuing the other one, Riba, and then engineers and executes an escape from the Sanctuary, something unthinkable for his fellow prisoners.

On their way to Memphis, a major city of the Matterazzi and their nearest safe haven, they encounter a slaughtered group of Matterazzi delegates with only one survivor, Chancellor Vipond. Cale and his companions are eventually captured by a Matterrazi armed group and escorted to Memphis, where they are eventually given a limited freedom and assigned to assist the local nobility.

Cale gets into a fight with several of the best local young warriors, including his temporary superior Conn Matterazzi, winning over them. This act immediately draws a great amount of attention to him and when he manages to rescue the Matterazzi princess Arbell Swan-Neck from the Redeemers who kidnapped her, the three former Redeemer recruits become a personal guard of the Matterazzi princess, who is both impressed and intimidated by Cale.

The Redeemers continue in their provocative attempts to obtain Arbell and eventually, they silently declare a war against the Matterazzi – which seems like a reckless and foolish act given the fact that Matterazzi army is better trained, equipped and superior in all aspects.

The final confrontation however goes gravely ill for the favoured side. The Redeemers emerge victorious from the decisive battle and they seize Memphis, but are willing to leave the Matterazzi alone in exchange for one thing: Thomas Cale.

The Battle Lord of the Redeemers, Bosco, who was also responsible for the most of Cale's training back at the Sanctuary, claims that he had a vision of Cale being a creation of God, sent to fulfil the destiny of the Redeemers and cleanse humanity. Cale is betrayed by his lover Arbell and given to the Redeemers in exchange for peace.
