Never Judge a book by its cover...Subaru Natsuki is determined to make it through the Pleiades Watchtower without abandoning anyone, and he's willing to die as many times as it takes.

As they gear up for the decisive moment, Subaru stumbles upon something that shouldn't exist-a book of the dead with his name on it. There's no telling what might lie in those pages, but not finding out could be even more dangerous...

The trials in the Pleiades Watchtower are underway! The promise of untold knowledge and maybe a way to save their friends is what brought Subaru's party here and though they have had some initial success, they're currently stuck, unsure how they can get past Reid Astrea, the legend himself. And if that wasn't enough trouble, Subaru might have finally lost...his memories?!

If they pass, access to the hidden wisdom of the legendary Sage may help them find a way to save Rem and the other victims of the Witch Cult. Fail...and they might not leave alive..."--Provided by publisher.
