Summary
A young boy named Rook is thrust into a chilling world of
corruption and depravity after his parents die, leaving him
alone with his baby sister. In a kingdom of famine where
people starve to death while nobility live in luxury and
abundance, the one thing Rook has to hold on to are the
stories and legends of the heroic Saints Caliber,
warrior-saints of the Goddess, Aeoria. Girded in armor made
of the very stars, the Saints Caliber are supposed to be the
ones who protect the people of the world. However, terrible
truths start to emerge and the heroes Rook once looked up to
turn out to be the villains of nightmares. For young Rook, hope comes in the form of a demon named
Bulifer. Too young to defend himself against the enemies that
surround him, and too young to take care of his baby sister,
Rook has little choice but to sell his future to the beast.
Rook is determined to keep his humanity, but will the demon
force him to commit sins from which his soul can never
escape? There is one Saint who has a chance to turn the order of
the world upside down. Haunted by the memories of the
terrible acts she is forced to perpetrate, Saint Nuriel tries
to numb herself to the world around her. Will she expose the
evils that saturate the Order of the Saints Caliber, or will
her slow fall into corruption twist her into the same cruel
servant of abominable kings as all her peers? For Nuriel, hope might lay within a strange woman named
Celacia who wears armor made from the very scales of the
ancient Dragon God of Death. Wherever Celacia walks, only
death follows in her wake. Earth withers beneath her feet,
stone crumbles in her presence, flesh rots to dust. But from
this woman whose very touch is death might Nuriel find a new
beginning? The Record of the Saints Caliber is an epic, page-turning
adventure that forces the characters to reveal dark truths
about themselves and the world they live in, in order to find
salvation.
