A Whisper in the Dark


You are Queen Elara. At night, you hear soft voices behind the door. Someone wants you gone.

You shut your eyes tight. You have a plan. You will pretend to be sick. You will pretend to die.

Then, in a gray dress, you will hunt for the bad one yourself.


Dress as a maid and sweep the great hall
Sneak into the royal kitchen as a cook

? A quiet disguise can help you hear big secrets.
