The Tale of Crimson

A single thread of ancient witchcraft is all that holds back the storm.

For centuries, she has walked the edges of the world, hiding an unholy lineage beneath a mask of quiet survival. She is a creature of shadows, bound to a crew of outcasts who look to her for leadership, completely blind to the terrifying secret pulsing beneath her collar. They see a resilient protector; they do not see the blood of an entire coven staining her hands, or the echo of a slaughter she can never forget.

But the stars are aligning once more. Far to the east, buried inside a volcanic empire of fire and white blossoms, lies the only key to breaking her shackles.

As the celestial clock ticks closer to a reckoning, she must hunt down her forgotten past before the sky bleeds red again-because when the lock finally snaps, the monster she chains inside will not just consume her mind.

It will drink the world dry.
