Blood in the Canals

The year is 1630 A.D. and death has come to Venice. The plague has returned to the Queen of the Adriatic once again, tainting this beautiful floating city with fear and placing it on the precipice of destruction. When a member of the Council of Ten is found dead by strange and mysterious causes, suspicions rise that something fouler than any worldly illness might be lurking within the city.

A monster beyond all imagination and reason haunts the canals of Venice, bringing with it a sinister plot of political intrigue and chaotic destruction that threatens to destroy the Republic forever.

You are a member of the Crossed Keys, an ancient order devoted to rooting out the dark horrors of the world. Answering the call of the Council of Venice, you will bring your skills and talents to face a horror, unlike anything you have faced before.
