BENEATH THE BLADE

a fire emblem: three houses anthology


war has come to Fódlan.

BENEATH THE BLADE is a Fire Emblem: Three Houses writing-centric anthology based on the five year time skip in-game.

In a collection of written works, each focused on a different student, the anthology hopes to explore the growths and changes that the students of the Officers Academy went through as war ravaged their home.
