About This Book

The narrative follows a warrior-adventurer who returns from exile to confront a creeping, otherworldly corruption that has seized northern realms of Atlantis. After a tavern brawl is mysteriously ended by fiery sorcery, a robed seer reveals a pallid, alien Presence named Karkora that possesses kings and warps rulers into vessels. The hero is urged to claim a contested throne and to use blade and cunning against occult influence. Episodes alternate between swordplay, ritual magic, and political intrigue as the protagonist faces physical foes and an uncanny force that blurs the boundary between human rule and alien domination.
