Summary:In order to protect his people from attacking demons, Prince Val uses a demonic sword and curses himself in the process. He leaves his kingdom to find a cure, and his search leads him to Hallwil, the person rumored to be the only one who knows how to break the curse. Hallwil agrees to help Val... for a price.
Story: A kingdom's prince is demon-cursed by a magic crimson sword and has to seek out a mage to help him break the curse. The mage he finds agrees to help, for a price. As you might imagine, the curse isn't so easily broken, thus the quest begins. Next up, a magical, flying thing-that-looks-a-little-like-a-rabbit-but-isn't, demons, and the occasional horse that, quite frankly, looks part-demon. Oh, and lots and lots of sex. Did I mention that already?
My experience: Despite all that this and Finder (below) have in common, in comparison to Finder, I experience Crimson Spell's atmosphere as much sweeter and more lighthearted. Please do note: "in comparison to Finder". The pacing and plotting work well, the side characters are fun, and who doesn't love a story where dragons pop up every now and then?
