Remnants of the Guard: Bearer of Lightning

What if World War 2 and the the geopolitics of the Industrial Revolution were decided by epic anime showdowns? Captain of the Guard Thut Tanhkmet has served the Imperial family of Setet during a long and successful career, ensuring their safety and orchestrating the achievement of their most critical military objectives. With new orders instructing him to find and rescue a kidnapped Sibylline Oracle-child, a weapon of untold power in the wrong hands, he embarks from the capital at once in pursuit of the realm’s continued security. But he will soon learn that a conspiracy has hatched in his wake that threatens to upend all he holds dear. Kapitanleutnant Roskvir Englihavt is a young war hero of the Albion Royal Marines, who has quickly shot up through the ranks thanks to his nigh-unmatched prowess in the mystical martial art of sjaelsvabening. He is duty bound to carry out a surprise attack striking deep into the unsuspecting Setetic Empire, but after each sortie finds himself evermore skeptical of the machinations of cutthroat superiors. When he discovers within himself an unexpected sympathy for a strange young Setetic princess, those treasonous new doubts set him on a deadly collision course with Albion's sacred warrior code. Second Lieutenant Kerauna Iumatar is fresh out of the Patrol Corps academy, the Setetic Empire's premier officer training college, when her spat with a noble scion sees her demoted and reassigned to distant backwater. But by a strange twist of fate, this only places her in just the wrong place at the right time to tilt the balance of the coming war. Each of the three thinks themselves ready to weather any storm, even an unexpected war. But none are truly prepared for the sudden cataclysm that derails every plan, and shakes each of their former loyalties to their core.
