The Eyes She Gave Away

A Scholar's account of Sibyl Perfida — the prophet who saw a new justice clearly enough to found it, then blind enough to trust it, and steady enough to end the man who helped her build it

Before she was a prophet, Perfida was one of us. A Scholar's account of the woman who left the Creed over a massacre, founded a brotherhood on a vision she never fully explained, and years later had to personally end the one other founder who broke faith with it.

The Silent Blade

A young assassin learns that the greatest weapon isn't always a blade.

The Silent Blade of Novigrad is a dark fantasy adventure following Sami, a young assassin trained by Master Andres within a secret brotherhood hidden in the Fallow Mire. Sent to Novigrad to assassinate its tyrannical governor, Sami discovers that simply killing one man will not free the people. Instead, he infiltrates the governor’s palace, uncovers his corruption, and exposes the secrets that hold his regime together. By returning stolen wealth, revealing the governor’s betrayal of his own soldiers, and turning the people and army against him, Sami destroys the governor’s power without taking his life. Returning to the Brotherhood, Sami proves that an assassin’s greatest weapon is not always the blade. Sometimes, the most powerful victory is taking away a
