Part IV of the novela War and Reminisces: The Jean Kirschtein Chronicles
As Paradis feared, Marley declared war on them, attempting to colonize the island and control its natural gas resource. The Paradians fight valiantly and manage to beat back the invaders. But victory is hollow as they bury their dead, the fallout of war reaching every sector of society with grave consequences. Levi Ackermann is front and center as he tries to make sense of the mess and finds out truths about the ancient Eldian clans, the survival of which the island’s existence depends on.
A story about poverty, desperation, betrayal, unrequitted love, and the true meaning of friendship.
Also introduces Eren Jaeger and Historia Reiss’ children into the novela, the twins Princess Ymir and Prince Eren.
