"Welcome to the land of Britannia, a picturesque country ruled by the benevolent King Liones...or at least it was, until the king's guard assassinated him and started a full-blown Holy War! Now the king's only daughter, Elizabeth, must seek the aid of the dreaded warriors, The Seven Deadly Sins. Wrongly framed and sent into exile, they're now the princess's only hope to free the kingdom from the grip of the villainous Holy Knights!"--Back cover.
