Nikolai Orelov, a weary assassin, finds himself entangled in Russia's chaotic revolutionary period when he accepts what he believes will be his final contract before escaping with his family. Tasked with retrieving a legendary Precursor artifact rumored to rest with the deposed Romanov royal family, he infiltrates a compound in Yekaterinburg only to stumble upon a brutal execution orchestrated by Templar operatives embedded within the Red Army—who are themselves pursuing the same mysterious object. When the dust settles, Nikolai discovers an impossible truth: the Tsar's youngest daughter has survived the massacre and now possesses the very artifact everyone seeks, transforming his simple extraction mission into a perilous journey through a fractured nation consumed by civil war.
