Born into a long line of knights, Fia is determined to become a knight herself, just like all her søsken. But a brush with death awakens memories of her past life as a Saint–a woman who wields rare, powerful healing and protection magic–along with the ability to use that magic herself! Ulempen er at FIA også husker hennes tidligere livs utidige død, og faren hun vil være i hvis noen finner ut hva hun egentlig er. Hun lover å holde seg på ridderstien og holde kreftene en hemmelighet for alltid! But how can she resist using her newfound powers when they’re just so useful?

There is a prequel titled A Tale of the Secret Saint ZERO and a manga. The overall series is reported to have over 3.5 million copies in circulation.

A Tale of the Secret Saint began as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel in January 2019.
