Haruka meets a group of clerics in the fantastical frontier of Omui. One of the clerics, Arianna, is actually the princess of the Theocracy. She explains the Theocracy's deep corruption, and Haruka resolves to protect her from an upcoming political purge. First, he'll send her party someplace safe--a dungeon?! Thus begins a revolutionary power-leveling training regime: the clerics are bound to get stronger than any pursuing assassins! And when Arianna is concerned about her homeland suffering under the new papal reign, Haruka has a plan in store for that too...

As he was composing what was to become his most enduring and popular book, E. B. White was obeying that oft-repeated maxim: "Write what you know." Helpless pigs, silly geese, clever spiders, greedy rats - White knew all of these characters in the barns and stables where he spent his favorite hours. In The Story of Charlotte's Web, Michael Sims shows how White solved what critic Clifton Fadiman once called "the standing problem of the juvenile-fantasy writer: how to find, not another Alice, but another rabbit hole."
