Eight months ago humanity’s greatest heroes marched against the Demon King. Every single one of them is dead now.
Kingdoms are falling. Cities are being abandoned. The darkness keeps spreading.
Bjorn Erikson used to be feared across the land. They called him the Crimson Reaper. These days he keeps his head down and works as a city guardsman. Then an aging king shows up with one last mission. Cross enemy territory. Kill the Demon King.
He sets out with the Crimson Spear, a weapon forged from rare ore that negates magic completely. His only company is an imprisoned necromancer he doesn’t trust and probably shouldn’t.
What follows is a journey full of dangerous creatures, powerful enemies and moments where surviving to the next day is feels a big achievement.
This story is perfect for people who enjoy dark fantasy, real stakes, and complicated characters. More good fit if you like warriors with difficult pasts, unlikely companions, monsters that actually feel threatening, and quests where nothing is guaranteed.
