The Revenant's Tale: A Dungeon Lords Short Story

THIS STORY TAKES PLACE DURING BOOK 1 of the FATE OF EVANIA SERIES. I RECOMMEND READING THAT ONE FIRST TO GET THE GREATEST EFFECT.

Dead men tell no tales? Not true. Dead men tell thebesttales.

Emperor Cosimir, once the most powerful ruler in Evania, now lingers as a ghost, bound to the man who killed him. Trapped between life and death, Cosimir confronts the blacksmith-turned-emperor, Eli, who wrestles with guilt and the weight of a crown he never wanted. Through their darkly humorous and venomous exchanges, Cosimir begins recounting the story of how he rose from a betrayed lord to a vengeful ruler, weaving a tale of love, betrayal, and ambition.

From his courtship with Kira, the light of his life, to the fateful trial where his rival claimed her as his bride, Cosimir's journey is one of heartbreak, vengeance, and the corrupting allure of forbidden magic. As he delves deeper into his tragic past, secrets unravel, alliances are tested, and the true cost of power comes to light.
