  Summary

  A mad witch has taken over Dunwall and frozen the Empress, and Corvo's only chance at taking her down is a stranger named Meagan Foster and... The Knife of Dunwall himself, Daud. Corvo can practically hear the Outsider laughing at this turn of events.
  Slow burn, eventual explicit themes.
