Steam Store description

Ardenne's king is dead and the country is in turmoil. The rightful heir to the throne, Prince Yuel, has gone missing, and a usurper has taken the throne. The new king, Salim, is cold, ruthless, and hungry for power, and he is determined to see the runaway prince executed to consolidate his own rule. Six years have passed since Yuel's disappearance, however, and nobody has seen hide nor hair of him: not even Yuel's older cousin, Tavi. Tavi's days are concerned with caring for his sickly mother and his job as Salim's spy and assassin. Six years of murder have left Tavi scarred, both physically and mentally: so much so, Tavi doubts that Yuel would recognise him if their paths were to converge once more... But fate is a fickle, and Tavi soon learns that his feelings for his younger cousin are more complicated than he ever could have imagined. - 140,000 words of text (approx 5-10 hours of reading) - A linear story with no choices or branches - Beautiful character artwork - A custom soundtrack - A touching boys' love story - Crossdressing - A sad assassin boy - Political intrigue - Murder!
