Crimson Heritage
In a world where the power to command the dead is both feared and forbidden, Hatan, a young boy from a remote farm, discovers that his bloodline carries a terrifying legacy—necromancy.
After a brutal attack shatters his quiet life and claims his family, Hatan awakens abilities he barely understands and sets out on a path few dare walk. Guided by unlikely mentors—including a shape-shifting druid, a reluctant cleric, and the ghosts of warriors long gone—Hatan must navigate a harsh world of dark magic, ancient rivalries, and deadly consequences.
As the boy grows into a man, so too does the shadow of his power. With whispers of war rising and a kingdom on the brink, Hatan must decide: Will he control the darkness within… or be consumed by it?
Crimson Heritage is a dark fantasy epic about loyalty, loss, and the dangerous cost of power—perfect for readers who love immersive world-building, morally complex heroes, and high-stakes magic.
