A Tale of the Secret Saint (Light Novel) Series

HEAD SAINT…FIA?!

During a standoff between King Cerulean and his mother, the queen dowager and head saint, Cerulean makes a shocking announcement: he’s recommending Fia as a candidate for the next head saint! Now, all eyes are on Fia as preparations for the head saint selection event get underway…yet she boldly starts using her powers all over the place! But Fia can just blame the holy stones for any magical feats, right? With such an air-tight plan, what could possibly go wrong?

A ROYAL MESS

When Lloyd and Priscilla whisk Fia away to meet the royal castle’s saints at the royal villa, things take an unexpected turn. But that’s just the start of Fia’s troubles. The Queen Dowager Hyacinthe, head saint and mother to Saviz and Cerulean, pays a visit to the royal capital and a tea party is held to mark the occasion. Saviz requests Fia to come along as well…as his good luck charm?! But luck might be just what the royal family needs as Fia learns of a rift between the Queen Dowager and Cerulean, and she might have just the solution they need!

SAINTLY SHENANIGANS

Wedding bells are about to ring for Saviz, and Fia decides to join the court jesters to create the best celebratory performance possible. But when Cerulean, Náv’s king in jester’s clothing, entices Fia to dress up as a saint and join the jesters for some fun in town, he has no idea that she’s actually the Great Saint! And as Fia starts leaving miracles in her wake, will her secret be exposed?

THE KING’S CHALLENGE

After returning to the Royal Capital, Fia is…off to meet the king?! With Saviz and Cyril by her side, Fia gathers her courage and faces the meeting head-on. But she’s in for a surprise as the king decides to test her worth as a knight. Fia’s pitted against the king’s favorite jester, Cerulean, and forced to play a game that will put her strategic skills to the ultimate test! Will she be able to outsmart the fool, or will he bring her to her wit’s end?

“HOW MANY DEMONS REMAIN IN THIS WORLD?”

Reunited with Zavilia, Fia and her companions enjoy a peaceful and relaxing time on Blackpeak Mountain, getting to know the dragons and picking herbs. But their fun is cut short when they encounter a young woman with black hair and eyes—traits of a demon! As they face a dangerous foe unseen by mankind in over three hundred years, Fia finds herself questioning everything they thought they knew about demons. And if what they know about demons is wrong, how many more of them could be out there walking among them?

RIP-ROARING ROAD TRIP!

With her Sutherland expedition complete, secretly saintly Fia Rudd is eager for a vacation! When Cyril and Kurtis gate-crash her getaway, she reluctantly relents that more holidaymakers are merrier. But when a certain pair of brothers with jewel-toned hair invite themselves along too, things really get rolling. A joyful jaunt to Blackpeak Mountains await!

SICKNESS AND SCARS

The yellow-speckle fever is running rampant in Sutherland, and the townspeople are suffering. But even as the disease grips the populace, they are still too distrustful of the knights to accept their help. Maybe what they need is some good old-fashioned fairy-tale magic. Can the “Great Saint” get through to them and provide the cures they need—healing both the disease and the scars of the past?

TWO LIES MAKE A TRUTH

Now back with the First Knight Brigade, Fia heads to Sutherland with its lord, Captain Cyril. Fia remembers Sutherland fondly from her past life’s memories and is excited to go—but tension is high between the captain and his subjects. Worse, the people of Sutherland become convinced that Fia is the reincarnation of the Great Saint—which she is, of course, but there’s no way they could know that! Now Fia will have to pretend that she’s pretending to be the Great Saint, all while keeping her true identity hidden from Captain Cyril and the other knights!

DRAGONS AND DISCOVERIES

Fia finally achieved her dream of becoming a knight, and was even assigned to the prestigious First Knight Brigade! But her unusual feats of strength and magic are already attracting unwanted attention. Keeping her saint powers a secret is proving harder than expected. Now, a black dragon has been sighted in Starfall Forest, and Fia is sent on a mission to find it…but does this black dragon have anything to do with her familiar, Zavilia?

The story of a young woman’s quest to become a knight while hiding her saintly power—inspired the anime! And don’t miss the manga adaptation or the prequel series, both also from Seven Seas.

Born into a long line of knights, Fia is determined to become a knight herself, just like all her siblings. But a brush with death awakens memories of her past life as a Saint–a woman who wields rare, powerful healing and protection magic–along with the ability to use that magic herself! The downside is that Fia also remembers her past life’s untimely death, and the danger she will be in if anyone finds out what she really is. She vows to stay on her knighthood path and keep her powers a secret forever! But how can she resist using her newfound powers when they’re just so useful?
