On the night Delilah Copperspoon seizes the throne and Emily Kaldwin flees Dunwall, an older Daud is watching, the Outsider's mark still burning on his hand. He's back in the city hunting for a weapon said to be able to kill the Outsider, and the search takes him across the Isles, where old enemies have been waiting for him and new ones aren't hard to make.
What this adds if you've played the games
Daud's own story in the years between The Brigmore Witches and Death of the Outsider. You see what became of the Knife of Dunwall after the first game, and you follow his search for a way to kill the Outsider, the plan that drives Billie's game. If you liked playing Daud in the DLC, this is the book for you. It's also the one to pick if you only read one novel before Death of the Outsider.
