==Overview==
Trained from birth in swordplay and combat, a young knight named Siris has journeyed to the Dark Citadel with a single purpose: fight through the army of Titans to face the tyrannical God King in one-on-one combat. This was his father’s sacred mission, and his father’s before him, going back countless generations in an effort to free their people from enslavement.
But when Siris somehow succeeds where all those from his bloodline previously have failed, he finds himself cast into a much larger world, filled with warriors and thieves, ancient feuds and shifting alliances, Deathless immortals and would-be kings. His quest for freedom will take him on an epic journey in search of the mythical figure known as the Worker of Secrets – the one being in the world who can unravel the secrets of the Infinity Blade.
==Plot synopsis==
The story beings after the conclusion of Infinity Blade I, with Siris, the protagonist, returning to his hometown of Drem's Maw after defeating the God King with the Infinity Blade. The village elders, fearing retaliation from other Deathless who seek the Infinity Blade, force Siris to leave. Siris journeys back to the God King's stronghold, where he meets Isa, an assassin whose motives blend self-interest and revolutionary ideals. Together, they discover that the God King has been reborn and that the Infinity Blade can only permanently kill a Deathless once fully awakened. Siris and Isa set out to find the Worker of Secrets, the mysterious creator of the Infinity Blade, believing that returning the blade to him may be the key to permanently ending the God King's reign.
Their search leads them to the lands of Saydhi, another Deathless. Isa stays behind while Siris fights Saydhi's champions. After Siris triumphs, Saydhi reveals the location of the Worker of Secrets, but she suddenly betrays him and attacks. Siris kills her in self-defense, but he is soon captured by the resurrected God King, who reclaims the Infinity Blade. Knowing that the God King intends to kill Siris permanently with the blade, Isa makes a desperate move and shoots Siris with a crossbow to prevent the God King from delivering the final blow. Siris later awakens in a rebirth chamber, similar to the one beneath the God King’s castle, and realizes that he himself is a Deathless. This revelation throws Siris into an internal struggle, questioning his purpose and the nature of his existence.
