How far will Dante go to protect the one he loves?
In fear of Falco's back up plan, Dante and John will join Princess Sonja and Royal Knight Valiente back to Captiva City. They plan on proposing a peace treaty with King Regius and search for answers about the origin of Soul Weapons. John believes those answers might be hidden in the catacomb library under The Church's cathedral.
Escorted by the Master Assassin Red Wine, Dante discovers family secrets he didn't expect to come forth. No longer satisfied as being John's shield, Dante trains with Red Wine to become not only a deadly assassin, but in order to master the art of fighting in the way his brother Ashton had once done.
Travelling proves difficult with hired mercenaries left in Falco’s wake, Fallen Arbor taking up interest in capturing Dante, and the Berserk Brigade looking to cash in on the bounty on their heads. Meanwhile, their relationship grows in unexpected ways and both struggle to keep their intimate desires hidden from the enemies who may take advantage.
