his superiors and his fellow students alike. But that will soon change, when the Galbadian branch of SeeD begins to show signs of hostility under the new employ of a mysterious sorceress.

His mission is shared with young Rinoa Heartily. And for the first time, from behind the black curtain of rejection within him, love will emerge. But will succession lead to tragedy for the girl who seeks to save him?

Between darkness and wonder, Squall and his companions will travel to the stars. They'll strive to end a war before it begins. They'll even experience a future that is no longer indeterminate- because it must be fought off. They will fight the fates, to make their own. This is what Squall must do to find out who he truly is. But he cannot succeed if he is alone.
