Once upon a time,

In a kingdom old and dying, there is a King who places his hopes and the future of the kingdom upon the shoulders of the Princess.

However before she can take the throne, the Princess is taken by a powerful Witch.

The Witch leaves a cryptic message saying that the Princess can only be returned if the King sends forth three champions to another world. They must survive the three trials and bring her back.

And so the King sends forth his finest knights equipped with powerful weapons and armor.

The White Knight, virtuous and brave.
The Crimson Knight, smart and wise.
The Black Knight, loyal and determined.

With a snap, they are taken to another world, one beyond their wildest imaginations.
Each knight must complete the trials alone, but little do they know their actions directly influence the trials of the others.

Will they succeed and at what cost?
***

Follow the three high-tech knights as they enter a fantasy world of magic on the brink of an industrial revolution. Read as they help the world overcome a dark and ancient threat on their journey to rescue the princess.
