Debut epic fantasy by Henry Cantleberry!Before empires rise, the world must be tested.A creeping black fog rolls out of the wilderness, carrying raiders touched by dark magic and leaving villages in ash. The realm within the Crescent Mountains stands unprepared—divided by politics, haunted by old grudges, and blind to the true power moving against it.As warriors, wanderers, and reluctant heroes are drawn together, ancient magic stirs, dangerous alliances form, and secrets long buried begin to surface. To survive, they must swear oaths of loyalty, faith, and sacrifice—but some promises are easier to make than to keep.Behind the invasion lies a conspiracy far greater than any army, and the choices made in its shadow will decide whether the realm rises… or falls.The The Kingdom of the Crescent is an epic fantasy of honor, political intrigue, and the fragile line between duty and ambition—perfect for readers who love rich world-building, morally complex characters, and the slow burn rise of legends.
