Far beyond the westernmost shoals, where the sea turns black beneath a moonless sky, there lies an isle known as Paradisia. Its people dwell apart from the kingdoms of men, devoted to an ancient faith whose name is spoken only in whispers: the Faith of the Drowned Saint. For generations, the islanders have been left to their prayers and their solitude.

Until the daughter of Lord Vaelmont vanished.
Lady Elira Vaelmont departed her father's hall one year’s past. Her final letter spoke of a revelation granted to her by the island's faithful—a promise that their Saint could cure the wasting sickness that has long afflicted her younger brother. Lord Vaelmont believes his daughter has fallen prey to heretics and madmen. Yet he cannot send his household guard without stirring scandal among the nobility. Thus, he turns to you.

You are to sail beneath a false name and enter Paradisia as a pilgrim.

You must gain the islanders' trust, take part in their rites, share their bread, learn their prayers, and find where Elira has been brought. Your name and allegiance must remain hidden. Should the faithful discover that you were sent by Lord Vaelmont, there will be no rescue ship waiting beyond the reefs.
