Officially, the Imperial Intelligence Agency's Headquarters are in Cairn House, Charterhall. Unofficially, the Palace works mostly in the field. An operation targeting Blackthorne Park's own agents in the Dagger Isles has gone sour, leaving both parties in the dark and out some very valuable assets. There's a mole, and the Palace needs them found. Victor Shaw - called Crown by his peers - has set you a task. He can trust no one else. He knows it must be one of three people involved in the operation:
Hester Prichard, the cynical handler whose judgment has never been in question even if now her loyalties are,
Luca Baine, the spy whose intelligence has ensured the Palace's supremacy despite the best efforts of our rivals, and
the assassin codenamed Thistle, whose protege Hyacinth died on the operation under mysterious circumstances.
No player of the Game can be unaware that they are under suspicion, and the leak might be sprung from Duskwall at any moment. In seventy-two hours, Crown will have to make a decision. The wrong one could be disastrous. The right one could be disastrous. And if Blackthorn Park gets a hold of the mole before us, it will be very embarrassing indeed...
