Tomas Piety, a man of diverse identities, holds a captivating and intricate web of roles. In the public eye, he portrays a wealthy and highly respected businessman, happily married to a beautiful woman, and serving as the governor of his beloved home city of Ellinburg. However, behind the scenes, he assumes a different persona entirely. He is no longer the gang lord, head of the Pious Men, but rather one of the Queen's Men, an invisible and officially non-existent entity, working tirelessly in secret to safeguard his country.

The sudden demise of the queen brings Tomas back to the capital, where he encounters his boss, Dieter Vogel, Provost Marshal of the Queen's Men. It becomes evident that Vogel is exerting a tight grip on the nation, tightening his stranglehold on power.

He questions whether he is willing to pay such a price, as his actions may have unforeseen consequences and impact the lives of countless individuals. The journey of Tomas Piety is a testament to the complexities of human nature, where loyalty, honor, and sacrifice intertwine, and where the pursuit of power can lead to unexpected revelations and moral dilemmas.
