  • Not sure the "riddle" tag applies here, so I'm removing it. Feel free to re-add it if I'm wrong. OTOH I've added the "word" tag.

Taking the first letter of each word and decrypting with rot19 gives




war

and

peace

bk

one

ch

ten

wd

five




Meaning the word is




The fifth word in chapter 10 in the first book of war and peace




Which, unless I've messed up finding it, is




'promise' from the line 'Prince Vasili kept the promise'

    @jwi thanks! Only feedback I have to give really is that perhaps somewhere there could be a hint as to why the cipher was ROT 7 (or to decrypt with ROT 19) cos trial and error can be a bit tedious. Apart from that nice puzzle!

I think the word is




promise




Here is how to find it:




Take the first letter of every word. Turn line skips into spaces.

This yields: "dhy huk wlhjl ir vul jo alu dk mpcl"


Now, shift each letter by 19 positions.

This yields: "war and peace bk one ch ten wd five"


Then, look at the fifth word of War and Peace, book 1, chapter 10 and you'll find "promise".
