The city of Fuyuki, surrounded by sea and mountains, is the stage for an ancient ritual. Seven masters, each wielding control over a heroic spirit, strive to attain the legendary Holy Grail, said to grant its possessor any wish. These spirits--known as Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker--represent heroes of various classes. Each master enters into a contract with their chosen servant and battles to the death until only one pair remains... Thus begins the Holy Grail War. Rin Tohsaka, a young and skilled mage, eagerly awaits the long-awaited Fifth Holy Grail War. With her servant Archer at her side, Rin takes up the mantle of the Tohsaka family after her father's passing. However, when a boy named Shirou Emiya, unknowingly becoming a master, sustains fatal wounds in battle, Rin is forced to save him. Joining forces with Shirou and his servant Saber, Rin embarks on a quest to uncover the conspiracies surrounding the Holy Grail War. Will the Holy Grail bring Rin and Shirou victory or will they be doomed to defeat?
