Two years before Dishonored 2, Corvo Attano is Royal Protector to the young Empress Emily and Dunwall's spymaster. While putting new City Watch recruits through their paces he meets officer Martha Cottings, and the two of them get pulled into a conspiracy that reaches deep into the city's criminal underworld.
What this adds if you've played the games
A short Corvo story from the quiet years between the games. You see him doing the job he was framed out of in the first game, running Dunwall's security instead of hiding in its sewers, and you get a look at the city once the plague has passed. It collects a four-issue series, so it's an evening's read. It doesn't add much the games need, but if you miss older Corvo it's a pleasant side case.
