Twice, the Dawn rose over Dicathen. Twice it crested the horizon, bathing the world in light.
Twice it fell in turn.
Devastating losses haunt the Sons of Dawn as they navigate an unfamiliar land filled with impossible danger, the looming threat of a tyrant asura king waiting like a guillotine over their Hearth. If they have the strength of arm, they might rescue their flock, bringing a force never before seen to the aid of those in need. In Dicathen, the Once and Future King treads the line between dark and light, holding the forces of worldly destruction at bay with subtle diplomacy and the strength of his sword. And back home in Alacrya, where all is war? A hidden knife of a woman, gleaming moonlit white, prepares to drive deep into the gut of those who took so much from her people.
Fate has taken everything it could, a dirge of despair for those who lie beneath its boots. Yet this concert of causality is not the only one to play through the world: when the discord grows too great, when rebellion ferments in the hearts of men, can those who deny the world as it is escape their shackles?
It's time to see the Symphony shattered.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka has spent his life mastering every skill necessary to control society, yet all he truly wants is freedom. Enrolled in Shuuchi'in Academy-Japan's most prestigious school-he hopes to live unnoticed in peace.
But in a world where power is defined by wealth and status, his quiet nature and unsettling intellect make him an enigma. Soon, he catches the attention of Student Council President Shirogane Miyuki and the calculating Shinomiya Kaguya.
What begins as mere observation soon turns into unintentional influence. Caught in the crossfire of mind games and high society politics, Ayanokoji must decide-will he remain a passive bystander, or will he become the unseen force that shapes Shuuchi'in from the shadows?
Or; Ayanokoji just wants a quiet life, but keeps getting dragged into the ridiculous love war between Shirogane and Kaguya.
