On the day of her wedding, Malorie went to the forest by tradition to braid a bridal wreath and ended up saving a child at the cost of her own life. Now she’s a cripple, confined to bed. The groom refused such an impoverished bride. Her parents were tired of constantly caring for their daughter and hurried to get rid of her as soon as possible. And only the local wise woman took pity on the girl and brought her to a sanctuary at the temple of the Sun-loving goddess. Dragging out her miserable existence, Malorie couldn’t even imagine what the arrival of winged invaders would bring her. The general of the esper army gave her a chance at a second life—yet what if she became worse than before?
