A secret history
Synopsis
Ash, a gutsy mercenary leader, navigates a medieval Europe that is subtly different from history, where her life is defined by the brutal realities of war. She relies on her skills with arquebuses, artillery, swords, and armor. However, Ash begins to hear a voice in her head, which she initially attributes to divine guidance, but soon realizes it is something far more enigmatic and potentially dangerous.
