In Arboral Year 1294, the world is dominated by nine massive towers known as the Spires--remnants of an advanced civilization, they are filled with lost secrets and powerful knowledge that nations struggle to possess. Luca is a bugler in a mercenary company who wants nothing more than to leave the battlefield behind and become a true musician, a maestro. But marked as one of the enigmatic Branch-hexed, and gifted with the strange ability to see the sound of his instrument, Luca finds himself drawn reluctantly into a war of epic proportions

In the aftermath of the siege of Mont Tombe and Luca's shocking flowering in the midst of his and Zoe's battle with the mysterious Akira, something strange about the Garland's guardian is revealed. Later, back in Thermi, the capital of the Holy Realm, the Branched squad gets a brief rest. A meeting with the Pontiff causes Luca to question his motives for becoming a maestro and opens his eyes to the true origin and purpose of the Spires. Are Luca and Zoe doomed to a life of endless war, or can they take their fate into their own hands?
