For a thousand years, Concordia has upheld peace among its provinces. To celebrate this remarkable achievement, the emperor's ship embarks on a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess's Mountain. Among the twelve heirs of Concordia, each possessing a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing, is Ganymedes Piscero. Known as the class clown, slacker, and all-around disappointment, Ganymedes lacks the Blessing that protects the other heirs. When a beloved heir is brutally murdered, everyone becomes a suspect. Trapped on a ship, surrounded by powerful individuals, and without any Blessing to shield him, Ganymedes's chances of survival seem slim. However, as the bodies pile up, Ganymedes must rise to the occasion and become the hero he was never meant to be. Can he uncover the killer and their secret Blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia? Or will the empire, as he knows it, crumble forever?
