Caell-
In a fractured age of iron kingdoms, dragon-shadowed skies, and royal corruption, young Koom begins life in a world that seems ordinary through the innocent eyes of childhood. Raised in a humble village by his blacksmith father, determined mother, and protective older sister, Koom's early years are filled with festivals, family warmth, and the bustling wonders of medieval life.
But beneath the surface, darkness stirs.
As royal knights begin appearing more frequently around his home, Koom's family becomes entangled in poverty, secrecy, and survival. When his mother crosses the line between desperation and crime by stealing food from a locked church, the first crack forms in the fragile foundation of their lives. Soon after, Koom's father is hunted by the crown and taken away forever, betrayed not by malice, but by Koom's own tragic innocence.
With his world beginning to collapse, Koom is thrust into the brutal unraveling of everything he once loved.
Koom: The Dark Ages is the harrowing first chapter in an epic fantasy saga of loss, survival, ambition, and transformation. It is the story of a boy forged through suffering, whose darkest beginnings may one day shape him into something far greater... or far more dangerous.
Before the crown, there was ruin. Before the king, there was Koom.
