Vampire: the Regicide
About
It is a quiet night in Krakow, and the Prince has just been murdered.
You are Mikael, a young Ventrue with no memories of his mortal life. When a power struggle in the wake of the Prince's death leaves the Sheriff and Seneschal unwilling to work together, the investigation of his murder falls to you.
Joining you is Kira, the only childe of the dead Prince Aleksander. Together, you must investigate the scene of the crime, interrogate your suspects, and bring the killer to justice before the loss of its Prince sends Krakow crumbling into chaos.
Aleksander was known as a just and beloved Prince - who could have wanted him dead? And what could have driven them to it?
