1. 01The contract on the Wolf

   A lucrative job to kill 'the Wolf of Sparta' pulls Kassandra off Kephallonia — and face to face with Nikolaos, the father who dropped her from Mount Taygetos.

2. 02The family broken on the mountain

   The oracle's decree, the botched ritual, the fall: the wound the whole game is built around, told in fragments as Kassandra retraces it.

3. 03Athens under Perikles

   In the besieged city Kassandra finds patrons and friends — Perikles, Aspasia, Sokrates, Herodotos — and watches the plague hollow the golden age out.

4. 04Deimos

   The Cult's champion is revealed as the lost sibling, raised on the mountain's other lesson: that fear, not love, is what family owes the world.

5. 05Cutting down the Cult

   Branch by branch — Eyes, Heralds, Silver Vein, Peloponnesian League — Kassandra unmasks the conspiracy profiteering off the war she keeps being paid to fight.

6. 06The Ghost of Kosmos

   With the masks gone, the center is revealed: Aspasia herself, who dreamt not of chaos but of a perfectly ordered republic — and used the Cult to sketch it.

7. 07Atlantis and the Staff

   Kassandra's true father Pythagoras guards the gateway beneath Thera with the Staff of Hermes. She takes it from him, and with it, his unwanted immortality.

8. 08The Heir of Memories

   Two thousand years later, Kassandra walks out of history to hand Layla Hassan the Staff in person — the keeper's burden passed on, the Eagle Bearer finally at rest.
