Between a horsemanship tournament to save Ruby and a cooking party to prevent Sapphias from staging a coup, Mia’s been busy this summer! It’s not quite time for her to kick up her heels yet, though. Patty is despondent and desperate to see her brother after coming face-to-face with Gerta, so Mia plans a trip to the former Clausius domain. It looks like it’ll be a family trip since Emperor Matthias wants to come along too!But when Patty finally learns the truth, what will become of her? Will she be freed from the Serpents, or will she fall further into their clutches...?

Surrounded by the hate-filled gazes of her people, the selfish princess of the fallen Tearmoon Empire, Mia, takes one last look at the bleeding sun before the guillotine blade falls…Only to wake back up as a twelve-year-old! With time rewound and a second chance at life dropped into her lap, she sets out to right the countless wrongs that plague the ailing empire. Corrupt governance? Check. Border troubles? Check. Natural calamities and economic strife? Check.My, seems like a lot of work.Hard work and Mia don’t mix, so she seeks out the aid of others, starting with her loyal maid, Anne, and the brilliant minister, Ludwig. Together, they strive day and night to restore the Empire. Little by little, their tireless efforts begin to change the course of history, pushing the whole of the continent toward a new future.And why did the selfish princess have a change of heart, you ask? Simple—she didn’t. She’s just terrified of the guillotine. They hurt like hell, and Mia hates pain more than work.

It's the summer holidays, and Mia's on a roll.Ever since the spoiled princess of Tearmoon leapt through time and restarted life as a twelve-year-old, everything has been going her way. Leveraging her memory of future events and—unwittingly—the delusions of those around her, she secures a source of wheat for the coming famine and prevents civil war from breaking out. She even manages to avert her own grisly death by guillotine, erasing from existence the very diary that foretold her doom!But once again that dreaded word—revolution—reaches her ears, only this time, it's not in Tearmoon. She's horrified to learn that a popular uprising in Remno is threatening that kingdom's stability. To make matters worse Abel, her princely sweetheart, is trapped at the center of the chaos. Should she brave danger to mount a rescue, or sit safe in the comfort of her own castle? Freed from the curse of the guillotine and faced with an uncertain future, what path will Mia choose?

Mia just can’t get a break! She ran for student president, won the election, and bent the arc of history away from the calamitous developments Bel foretold. You’d think saving the future would be enough to earn her some rest, but all she got for her troubles was an urgent letter from Ludwig requesting her immediate return to the empire. She sets out for Tearmoon, only to learn upon arriving that the academy city, which she was counting on to develop that new strain of wheat, is now falling apart before their very eyes. The headmaster? Bailed on them. The teachers? Fleeing by the boatload. The project itself? At risk of grinding to a halt. And to make matters worse, the Greenmoons are apparently the ones behind it all! Ludwig offers a solution: they need a new headmaster with enough clout to stop the exodus of teachers, and his former master fits the bill. Sounds great! The only problem is... the man’s a stubborn old badger who hates nobles with a burning passion!

When the group splits up to look for her, Mia pairs up with Abel and thinks that getting stuck on an island might not be so bad after all. Little does she know, however, a dark secret lost to time lies deep within the island. Uncovering it will reveal the hidden truth of the Tearmoon Empire and how everything links to her morbid destiny. But forget about all that! Mia’s only concern is and will always be herself, and the only thing she’s interested in right now is her relationship with Abel.Can Mia avert her ever-impending doom this time around? Will they find the missing Esmeralda? And, most importantly, will Mia get closer to Abel?! Join Mia and friends on a summer survival adventure in the fifth volume of Tearmoon Empire!

The Holy Eve Festival is swiftly approaching, and Princess Mia is at a loss. Things had been going so well! She defeated Ruby at the Horsemanship Tournament, and she even won the allegiance of the Redmoons. And yet, the Princess Mia Chronicles continues to predict her death on that very day! Mia is desperately anxious about her impending assassination, so she resolves to...go mushroom picking! Mia just really wants to enjoy some exquisite mushroom stew, okay?

Luckily for her, Bel shows up with Citrina Yellowmoon, who happens to know a thing or two about mushrooms.Can Mia avert her ever-impending doom this time around? Will she figure out the significance of the Holy Eve Festival? And, most importantly, will she get any of that delicious stew?! Follow Mia on some fungal foraging fun in the sixth volume of Tearmoon Empire!

You'd think surviving an assassination attempt would entitle Mia Luna Tearmoon to some rest and recreation—but in comes her old friend the great famine! Forkroad and Co.'s business has completely collapsed, and with it, the logistics Mia needed for her famine-prevention plan.Mia's investigation reveals the culprit is a man she knows all too well: Shalloak Cornrogue, the Merchant King. In the previous timeline, Mia had suffered indignity at his hands. Now that he's meddling in this timeline as well, it's the perfect excuse for payback!Her road of revenge takes Mia all the way to Perujin. There, the Sage of the Empire finds herself embroiled in a whirlwind of trouble, culminating in a showdown that will forevermore change the fate of Perujin...

Mia reclines and flips open the Princess Chronicles, wondering what new developments it has in store, when her eyes leap to a certain line: “Sion Sol Sunkland perished in his youth.” Needless to say, she does not remain recumbent for long. How could this possibly be?!Though he may be infuriating at times, Sion is an ally, a classmate, and most importantly...a friend. She needs to warn him; if she can't save him personally—which, let's face it, is unlikely given her limited faculties—then he can at least save himself. When Esmeralda complains about a marriage proposal from a Sunkland noble, Mia inserts herself and her friends into the entourage, and they make for Sunkland.Will Mia be able to avert Sion's death, or will the future refuse to budge?

Crown Prince Sion is prophesied to be fatally poisoned by his younger brother, Echard. Donning a precious keepsake dress made by her mother, ex-selfish-princess Mia throws open the doors to the ballroom, prepared to confront this swirling conspiracy. After considerable (by Mia standards) thought, she devises a brilliant (again, by Mia standards) scheme. Time to keep Sion dancing so he doesn't have a chance to drink anything! Unsurprisingly, her plan falls flat almost immediately, as the myriad of players in this game of power won't just sit idly by...Up against Sion's burden of justice, Echard's inferiority complex, and Sunkland's complicated political background, can Mia lead everyone toward a better, brighter future?
