Leyndell, the eternal golden capital beneath the Erdtree, stands unassailable in the eyes of the realm. Yet a dark secret festers at its heart: Godwyn was nearly murdered by Black Knife Assassins. The world believes he emerged triumphant, but the Golden Order conceals his suffering. Marika guards this lie with fierce determination. No outsider knows the demigod's fragility. No one, except you. You alone stand between Godwyn and a torment worse than death, the sole witness to his vulnerability.
