The Rites have, perhaps, turned the world into a cruel and at times inhospitable place. The thing, considers the Reader, that makes it all bearable is the love that moves in sync with the cadence of forgiveness, sings in tune with the melody of liberation, and dances in rhythm with the music of companionship. A love that moves the Stars and the soul both...

Beneath every story, there is another story. There is a hand within the hand. There is the Truth within the Truth. It is a story of a team –– Falman, Fuery, Breda, Havoc, Hughes, Hawkeye, Mustang –– and their struggles with friendship, and hope, and survival, and pain. And, always, a man... an alchemist doomed to wander the dark causeways of the universe...

Officer Cadet Jean Havoc didn't catch the bulk of the fighting during the Uprising. But when twelve Amestrian generals are slaughtered by a state alchemist, Havoc will discover that not all wars are fought between nations. Some are fought between comrades.

A reconstruction, a resurrection, a mystery, a moment, a memory... the Promised Day is long over, but there is still a lot of work to do. As General Roy Mustang and his team fight dissidents and dissenters in an effort to restore Ishval, Edward Elric is summoned back to Central City to pay down one last account, to put one last demon to rest. Before it destroys them all.

Deserting the military is a difficult feat even at the best of times. And the eve of the Promised Day is far from the best of times.

After the Ishvalan War, many state alchemists turned in their pocket watches, renouncing their commissions as dogs of the military.

But the Fullmetal Alchemist soon finds that there is more at stake than the Colonel's life. Who is after the secret of flame alchemy, and why does Hawkeye fear a man named Frank Archer? (FMA:B)

"Lieutenant," he said softly, "do you think I care for you so little that something as irredeemably trivial as rank would make any difference? Your place is by my side.
