The Hospital in Prague has burned. The Order is scattered. Two men are set adrift in the midst of a war which has no end in sight; The Reverend Sir Cyril, left with only his dead Master’s final words and a divine warning from a long-dead Abbess— and the esquire Godric Pferdmann, tasked with keeping his mentor and friend from fracturing. Armed with only each other, two men plunge into the midst of a crusade which has no place for them. Will they find honour or bloodshed? Justice or corruption? Faith or heresy? There is a snake in Nikolsburg. Pray they have the will to conquer it.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 10–19 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
