Beryl Gardenant, a middle-aged swordsman who runs a dojo tucked away in the backwaters, leads a quiet life until Allucia, his former student and the Commander of the Royal Order of Knights, makes her appearance. Beryl’s life is about to change dramatically. City life. Old students. New friends and formidable foes. It’s all too much. Yet after years of training, his skills are formidable, and he has earned the nickname \"the backwater swordmaster\".
