Summary
Europe, late 1000s. Pilgrims vanish along forgotten roads. Monasteries hear bells with no towers. Forests rearrange themselves overnight.
When the church quietly dispatches Arthur Kirkland and Francis Bonnefoy to investigate the disappearances, neither is pleased by the arrangements.
Arthur still carried the remnants of an older world—pagan rites, haunted rivers, and gods history tried to bury. Francis belongs to the new Europe of courts, cathedrals, and rising kingdoms. Forced to cross a continent unraveling beneath them, the two nations travel through plague-stricken villages, abandoned monasteries, cursed forests, and the ruins of Rome itself, following the trail of something ancient awakening beneath Christendom.

Summary
At World Academy, Ludwig Beilschmidt is known as the no-nonsense, rule-abiding top student of Class 2-A. Feliciano Vargas, on the other hand, is the carefree, art-loving student who always seem to nap through history and forget his homework. When the school announces a mandatory "Academic Support Pairing Program" - where struggling students are paired with top performers - Ludwig is assigned to tutor Feliciano.
What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into something more complicated (and heartwarming), as Ludwig learns there's more to Feliciano than his spaced-out persona, and Feliciano starts seeing Ludwig not just as the strict "Potato Bastard" - but someone he genuinely wants to make smile.

Summary
Across centuries of war, empire, and uneasy peace, France has always loved England — fiercely, quietly, unrequited. From childhood skirmishes and stolen moments to trench warfare and post-war silences, Francis Bonnefoy remains a constant in Arthur Kirkland’s life, even as Arthur’s heart drifts toward someone else: America.
This is a story of love that doesn’t demand, doesn’t fade — the kind that lingers in the quiet spaces of history. Through bruises and battles, revolutions and reconciliations, Francis stays.
