Background

The third game to reach the Gameboy Advance (although only the second outside of Japan), Sacred Stones follows the struggles of siblings Eirika and Ephraim. The long peace enjoyed by the kingdom of Renais is shattered when neighbouring kingdom and former ally Grado launches a surprise attack. Renais paladin Seth is ordered to take the princess Eirika to safety when the palace is overrun. With her brother missing in Grado territory Eirika heads to the kingdom of Frelia for aid. But her journey will be a dangerous one as she must face Grado troops, local bandits and even monsters that roam the lands. Can Eirika free the land she loves so much?
