Issak and Prince Heinrich's gambit may have worked, but the reprieve is short-lived. Crown Prince Alfonso's mercenary forces, led by an Ambrogio Spinola seemingly back from the dead, have issued an ultimatum to the nearby city of Rosenheim: cut off all resupply to Castle Fuchsburg-dooming it for certain-or be destroyed. Leaving his men to defend Fuchsburg, Prince Heinrich and Issak travel to Rosenheim to lead its small garrison as the city braces for a siege. There, Issak must survive a bracing encounter with his past.
