Honor doesn’t keep you alive.
It just decides how you die.

Ashes of the Crusade is a grimdark fantasy of broken knights, holy wars, and the cost of standing when the world burns.

Before the Rift tore the sky, a crusade burned the land. Nexx, a young warrior chasing the mantle of Oathsworn, finds himself caught between duty, faith, and the brutal truth of what it costs to be a shield for others. Haunted by sacrifice yet driven by honor, he must walk the line between heroism and ruin as war consumes the kingdoms. Ashes of the Crusade is a standalone tale in the world of the Fractured Veil, a story of fire, brotherhood, and the price of an unbreakable oath.
