Epitaph of the Reluctant Hero

By Derrick Kemnitz Jr

Epitaph of the Reluctant Hero is a dark fantasy epic set in a realm teetering on the brink of ruin.

When Karson, a quiet courier with dreams of adventure, stumbles into the heart of a crumbling alliance, he is swept into a war that threatens to unravel the mortal world. As the Royal Academy of Orion and the Crimson Legion of Montclair wage a bitter civil conflict, a forgotten enemy stirs in the shadows-an ancient being known only as the Harbinger, who seeks to merge the decaying Nether with the living realm.

With powerful relics resurfacing, kingdoms splintering, and Riftwalkers tapping into realms beyond understanding, Karson is thrust into a journey that will test his will, his loyalty, and his soul.

He once dreamt of being a hero-
But never understood the price it would demand.
