Volume 4 - Virtue

​

The stakes are clear:

Victory or oblivion.

Disarming foes with brains, bravado, and a blade’s swift kiss.

1794. Switzerland still reels from the Genevan attack. Cantons grapple with political corruption, civil unrest, and the ever-looming threat of revolution. Even the Bernese throne is under siege. The Tatzelwurms have fallen silent — until now.

A new chain of devastating events shakes the confederacy, forcing Valentin into his most dangerous game yet. Marked once again for elimination, he must protect himself and those he holds dear. To do so, he sets his sights on an audacious prize: the title of schultheiss, the highest power in Bern. But formidable foes stand in his way, wielding far-reaching agendas, secret networks, and near-limitless resources.

Navigating a deadly tightrope of survival by day and espionage by night — all while keeping his coiffure impeccably intact — Valentin must keep his wits razor-sharp. Or else. But armed with loyal valets, trusted comrades, cunning confidantes, and his own swift ingenuity, he might — just might — pull off the impossible: becoming both statesman and bona fide spy.

Power, peril, and parody — the saga reaches a thrilling new height!

Will you be there to witness Valentin’s most daring gamble yet?
