In a world plagued by eternal darkness, the sun has been extinguished by a malevolent force known as the Shadow King. This oppressive darkness has given rise to a twisted kingdom ruled by monstrous creatures and dark sorcery. The protagonist, a reluctant and flawed hero, is a former palace guard who lost everything when the Shadow King's reign began. Haunted by personal demons and a tragic past, they are thrust into a quest to find the mythical Dawnstone, the only artifact capable of restoring the sun. As the hero embarks on this perilous journey, they must assemble a diverse group of allies: a vengeful witch with a grudge against the Shadow King, a cursed thief with a heart of gold, and a once-mighty warrior seeking redemption. Throughout their journey, the group faces relentless horrors, treacherous betrayals, and the moral ambiguity of using dark magic to combat even darker foes. The line between hero and villain blurs as they navigate the morally ambiguous choices needed to save their world. This is Book One out of three in the CURSED REALMS SAGA.
