The day starts with breakfast and prayer. It ends with murder, poison, and a town on the brink. A tavern owner is found dead, a Guardian agent slips into his place, and half the town eats a poisoned meal before anyone realizes what’s happening. As Thaddeus follows a trail of blood, contracts, and lies, the group uncovers just how deep Father Vale’s reach goes. With the ceremony hours away and enemies already inside the walls, time is running out.
