Braves of the Six Flowers Book 5 is stepping up the pacing in regards to the mystery of the 7th Brave, and indeed the 8th Brave that Adlet had predicted back in the first book.
Here we learn a bit more about the half fiend, half human woman Flemy, the Brave Killer. While everyone learns about something called the Blackbarren Bloom - which Hans, Adlet and Rolonia learned about in the last book completely - Adlet voted against telling the group an extra bit of detail. The detail that would mean someone was going to die, although it's no surprise who it is, the extent that everyone goes to try and kill them, or protect them is incredible.
This is also the book where something fractures. The Braves are divided, not just because they are suspicious of each other, but because with Adlet and Hans both being in a 'leader' role - one could argue that Hans is just a double vote on certain things since he stated that he didn't want to be a leader - both of them are smart enough to figure things out in their own way. Here is where we see Hans put everything that had happened in the previous books and laid them out to point out who is actually the 7th Brave, while Adlet is doing his best to stop the others from killing someone important to him.
In the meantime the readers learn who the real 7th is, what the fiends are up to, and what was the fiends real plan in regards to the Braves?
