This is a Skyrim Fanfiction depicting the story of the Dark Brotherhood quest-line through the life of a male Nord called Ivarr...with a modified story line, of course. Ivarr is an adventurer by profession, Dragonborn by nature and good at whatever he does. He loves sneaking up on people and shooting arrows in their knees. But during one such adventure, Ivarr meets a young boy named Aventus performing a dark ritual called the Black Sacrament and gets pulled into a mysterious guild - The Dark Brotherhood and a new adventure begins.

I, Kisvar, the only known Dragonborn, have defeated Alduin in Sovngarde. I joined the side of the Stormcloaks in the Civil War, and the Empire is subdued once and for all. Skyrim is at peace, and I am renowned across the Nine Holds. You might think my life has slowed down some now, right? That I'm taking a well-earned break from adventuring? .... No. I make my living as an adventurer, and in secret, as the Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild. I thrive on adventure and attention. You wouldn't take a break from breathing, would you? Didn't think so. Now I'm starting on a new quest, one that started with two strangely-dressed men and an order to kill me from some person named Miraak....

Being Maven Black-Briar's granddaughter, Mira has never really wanted for anything. The Black-Briars are the most respected family in Riften and their reach extends to most of the other Holds throughout Skyrim as well. No one will dare hurt Mira's feelings or deny her anything she wants, because if they do, Maven will hear about it. She can do anything she wants except for the thing she wants to do most. She wants to become an adventurer, but her family would never allow such a thing. Instead she is being groomed as part of the most influential family in Skyrim, and hates every second of it. Mira's boring life is turned upside down when she is framed for murder, but saved by an unknown stranger. Thrown out of everything she has come to know, Mira must discover her new path while dealing with a dangerously handsome man who grows more complicated the closer she comes to understanding him.

A sequel to the first book, Down the Dark Path, Shadows of the Dark Path, seeks to answer the unanswered questions at the end of Down the Dark Path from the perspective of a new character in the same world. Back at Helgen, the twins Halund and Halvar, the sons of Hadvar the Imperial Warrior are witnessing their first ever execution. Explore the journey of Halund through the land of Skyrim as everything goes horrendously wrong in Helgen as Alduin appears and wreaks havoc on the village. Follow him on an emotional journey of great hardship and ultimately revenge.... Also a special thanks to Zahkriiven, for pointing out and correcting the mistakes that I had made and still am making....
