## Introduction

When Lilac receives a mysterious letter claiming to be from Milla's relatives, the girls are suspicious, as is the Magister. Instead of sending the girls, they send three mercenaries to investigate. As they suspected, it's a trap. They manage to survive relatively unharmed, but as Neera Li is making contact with them after the incident, she's cut off as an attack on the palace begins.

As it turns out, the Shang Tu Palace, along with the city's power plants and major communication facilities, were bombed as part of a decapitating strike from an unknown enemy. Neera and Gong are both left in critical condition, and only a last-minute intervention from the Magister saved Lilac, Carol and Milla from total defeat. Worse, the effort left the Magister comatose, leaving Shang Tu without a leader. A general emerges to take control of the city and, falsely blaming the Red Scarves for the attack, prepares to wipe the organization out.

Can the party stop the genocidal Regent Haixi from exterminating every last man, woman and child in the Scarves? More importantly, can they unearth the truth about the true enemy and convince enough of the fragmented armed forces to retaliate against them? Or will the unrest among both the armed forces and civilians erupt into civil war, falling right the true enemy's hands?

Only those with courage to face seemingly insurmountable odds, and the determination to fight to the bitter end to set things right, have any hope of saving the Three Kingdoms from a ruthless invasion at the hands of the cruel Queen Perera of Palu Divayina.
