The game changes.

So must the players.

From ballrooms to battlefields, a spy is forged.

1792 draws to its close. Liberté, égalité, and fraternité echo through the streets and squares. For the Swiss confederacy, these are treacherous times indeed. Amidst the swelling upheaval and uncertainty, a secret war rages — a war waged in the shadows.

No longer retreating, Valentin rises to confront a deadly conflict weighing both Switzerland’s fate and the balance of European power. The Tatzelwurms have revealed their reach — but not their master. Time is running out to unmask the architect behind it all.

With every step, Valentin is drawn deeper into a world of espionage and danger. One misstep could unravel everything. In this lethal game of deception and counter-deception, will he emerge victorious? Or, like so many before him, fall victim to the Tatzelwurms’ grand design?

The stakes have never been higher. But, backed by loyal companions and a stroke of good fortune, our hero might — just might — pull this off... if he can keep his wits and nerve about him first.

Suspense, satire, and secrets conspire.

Step into this next act — are you ready to play?

“... for the readiness is all.” — Hamlet
