One year. It had been one year since Iris Gwenneth became the first heroine of Eldia --one year since her life took a dramatic turn for the better. And in this one year, she'd found meaning in the days that had once had none. Iris had a new job, one she adored. She was Rogue Captain Gwenneth of the Eldian army. She had a new betrothed, one she also adored. Everything was wonderful... until it wasn't. In a tale of friendship, adventure, and action, Iris will find that there might be more to life than being a simple captain --a war soldier of the front lines.

In this new chapter of her life, Iris will discover what it means not to become some steely-eyed, merciless commander... ...but to become a guardian.
