"Fairy Tail's managed to stop the resurrection of END, the most powerful demon in the Book of Zeref, and with it comes victory over Tartaros! But the dragon of darkness Acnologia is still fighting the Fire Dragon King, Igneel, and to make matters worse, Zeref the Black Wizard himself appears before Natsu! With this crucial confrontation still playing out, Guild Master Makarov makes a critical decision! And with it, Natsu, Lucy, and everyone else take a first step into a brand new chapter of their adventure"--Back cover.

"With her curse magic, Kyoka has deprived Erza of all her senses--except pain, which she has amplified into excruciating torture! But even in these hopeless, circumstances, the Fairy Queen continues to counterattack! Meanwhile, the duels between Igneel and Acnologia and between Natsu and the Underworld King rage on, as dragon father and wizard son struggle to grab onto a sliver of hope! The twin dragons of Saber Tooth, Rogue and Sting, show up to help. Can the joint efforts of three dragon slayers force Mard Geer to get serious? The critical moment arrives in the battle between fairies and demons"--Back cover.

"By the skin of their teeth, Fairy Tail managed to stop the bomb, but in the wake of the failure Tartaros unleashes a new monster: Mard Geer, King of the Underworld! The dark guild's cube transforms into a gigantic beast, swallowing all of Fairy Tail's members--except for one! Now the fates of her comrades once again rest on one brave wizard's shoulders!"--Back cover.

"Now that they've made it out of Tartaros's prison, Natsu, Ezra, Mira, and Lisanna begin their counterattack against the Nine Demon Gates with a daring raid on the Tartaros guild to stop the wizard pulse bomb from obliterating the continent's magic. But then, as if they don't already have enough problems, Natsu suddenly encounters Zeref the Black Wizard himself! Past the gates of Hell, it's a desperate battle between fairies and demons to decide the fate of the world!"--Back cover.

"In the final matches of the Grand Magic games, a wounded Ezra struggles against a sadistic Minerva who can twist space itself, Gajeel sinks into the shadows against a powered-up Rogue, and Laxus faces down impossible odds against Jura, the world's fifth-strongest wizard. But, as the Games end, the kingdom prepares for a day Natsu never thought he'd see: the return of the dragons!"--Back cover.

"To the surprise of no one, Natsu hasn't really thought through his plan to rescue Lucy. Along the way, they face a death trap, a team of magical executioners, and...another Lucy?! Meanwhile Erza struggles through a three-way free-for-all with the world's other two most powerful women wizards! Will the world survive Fairy Tail's attempts to save it?"--Back cover.
