It was once said that time and tide will wait for no man, but that was before the legendary heroine Jeanne d'Arc had a vision of a Deliverer – a champion who could save the future of the planets connected by the Dragon Stream. Now the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance as, at the order of King Arthur and in the company of Leonardo da Vinci, Jeanne travels from the WEST. to the East in search of their long awaited savior. But will Nobunaga Oda be the kind of man they are expecting? Or will history's greatest heroes find themselves choosing not a liberator, but a destroyer? Or is Nobunaga's role that of the Fool from a deck of Tarot, the wild card whose purpose is to invoke change, at whatever cost?
