The Blood of Winter
A traitor hears Death's voice while fleeing a conquering king to save the world from demonic cleansing.
Winter escapes King Drohn’s ruinous conquest by traveling to the ends of the known world. He faces perilous terrain including boiling calderas and growing forests to protect his loved ones and an indigenous tribe. The empires of Drakoor, Veiling, and Aastra hide ancient secrets beneath their rule. When blood from the war soaks the earth, Demons of Lost Souls emerge to cleanse the planet. Winter uses his premonitions of death as a strategic tool to survive this coming darkness. The plot focuses on uncovering what these empires were built to hide before the world faces annihilation.
The narrative draws on fantasy traditions involving ancient, unnamed empires and supernatural entities. It references a world where recorded history is insufficient to explain the origins of Drakoor, Veiling, and Aastra. The setting includes mythical landscapes like infinitely growing trees and boiling calderas, blending gothic horror with epic quest structures.
