The paths of one evil god, two rival empires, three unlikely bishops and seven brave ghosts converge in the destiny of Teito Klein, a boy who vows to master a powerful artifact known as the Eye of Mikael in order to lay bare the secrets of the world's--and his own--murky past.

Brainwashed by the Barsburg Empire into believing he's the evil Ayanami's faithful servant, Teito prepares to attend Princess Ouka's sixteenth birthday masquerade ball as her bodyguard. The Seven Ghosts are determined to "kidnap" Teito at the ball, but will their bond be strong enough to free him from Ayanami's grasp, much less the clutches of the darker shadow lurking in the palace?
