The Demon in the Scarlet Mirror

"One year after the execution of Lord Dan Aaron, the Kingdom of Centrugard stands on the brink of collapse. The war that was meant to end in weeks has consumed kingdoms, noble houses, and thousands of lives. As ancient alliances fracture and new powers rise from the shadows, Lorian Night finds himself caught between loyalty, destiny, and a darkness that refuses to loosen its grip on his soul. To the people, he has become the Dark Star-a symbol of hope for the forgotten. To his enemies, he is a threat that must be extinguished.
