Because I, the True Saint, was Banished, that Country is Done For! 1

By Shikiso Utsuzawa

In this cozy fantasy, a sheltered young saint finds herself on a journey of self-discovery after she's unceremoniously banished by the foolish prince she was set to marry. Equally adept at baking cookies and battling demons, she soon finds friends and a sense of purpose outside the kingdom's walls--but will she ever find a place to truly call home? And will the prince who mistreated her ever get his comeuppance? A Kodansha Print Club series.

JUST "ELIANE"

Ever since she was a child, Eliane has been the saint and protector of the Kingdom of Belkheim, warding off monsters and ensuring bountiful harvests with her prayers. But when a pretender saint beguiles the foolish prince--Eliane's fianc --into believing she is nothing but a fraud, he calls off the marriage and banishes her from the kingdom. Homeless and penniless but free to chart her own course for the first time in her life, Eliane decides to make for the neighboring kingdom, where she hopes to blend in as a commoner and lead a quiet life...but a chance encounter on the road will totally upend her modest plans.
