The light novel series A Tale of the Secret Saint (Tenseishita Daiseijo wa, Seijo de aru koto o Hitakakusu) is getting a TV anime adaptation.
A “teaser illustration” from the light novels’ illustrator chibi was released with the announcement.
A Tale of the Secret Saint, which is written by Touya, began as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel in January 2019. The light novel series, published under the Earth Star Novel label, started in June 2019 and has 10 volumes as of June 2024. The series has also received a prequel titled A Tale of the Secret Saint ZERO and a manga adaptation.
Seven Seas Entertainment describes the premise as
Born into a long line of knights, Fia is determined to become a knight herself, just like all her siblings. 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! The downside is that Fia also remembers her past life’s untimely death, and the danger she will be in if anyone finds out what she really is. She vows to stay on her knighthood path and keep her powers a secret forever! But how can she resist using her newfound powers when they’re just so useful?
