Summary
In the four years since the Kaldwin rule was reinstated, Corvo's had his work cut out for him. He's filling the roles of both Royal Protector and Royal Spymaster, raising his daughter on his own, guiding the reconstruction of a broken and plague-weary Empire, and leading in the areas young Emily still isn't ready for. Exhausted, he adheres to his duties with grace, but he can't forget when it all went south, when he discovered himself for the very first time. Now he must keep those part of him buried for the Empire's and his daughter's sake, and he's never felt more isolated.
But there is someone left who still knows exactly what lies underneath his carefully crafted veneer. And Corvo's gotten quite good at knowing when he's watching. Once Corvo starts taking comfort in the entity's gaze, cast upon him from a world away, it turns out he'd do just about anything to keep that attention.
