Delve into the dark heart of the Black Sea's medieval jewel, where a meticulously planned series of murders is unfolding.
The story takes place in Caffa, a bustling port city under the Republic of Genoa and a vital crossroads for medieval trade between East and West. The city is a symbol of wealth and power, yet conceals the brutal slave trade and endless corruption. Now, an even deeper fear is quietly spreading.
A mysterious killer codenamed “S” haunts the streets and alleys of Caffa like a phantom. Their targets are clear: Genoese nobles who have amassed fortunes through the slave trade. Each murder is horrifyingly brutal. The scenes are marked not only by bloodshed, but also by strange, indecipherable Tatar inscriptions, as if they were curses of vengeance from the depths of the steppe. The Genoese authorities are gripped by panic and helplessness, and their investigations repeatedly hit dead ends. Yet “S”'s killing spree seems to have only just begun.
