Queen's Blade
is a series of visual combat books published by Hobby Japan. It is the fourth series of gamebooks in the "Queen's Blade" series, but unlike "Queen's Blade" and its sequel, "Queen's Blade Rebellion", which are directly linked to each other, "Grimoire" is an all-new story set in a parallel universe. Like the previous "Queen's Blade" books, "Grimoire" will be compatible with Flying Buffalo's "Lost Worlds" gamebooks, and each gamebook will be illustrated by many popular artists. The first series of gamebooks, featuring Alicia and Zara, were released on November 24, 2012.
