Kromed: Tale of the Cursed Witch

War leaves stains so deep they can never be scrubbed free. Kromed, a veteran of the once-valiant Silver Blades, returns home to the cruel and wonderful city of Watchport. Weary of war, but knowing a man of violence cannot hope to find another way of life, he is dragged deep into the Lower End, the piss and bloodstained underbelly of the slums. Reunited with his childhood friend, who is now a ruthless Don of the underworld, Kromed becomes a part of a brutal web filled with fanatical Templars of the Red Flame and the remnants of his mother's witchcraft. His journey toward redemption becomes steeped in blood. Can he hope to find the peace he seeks? Fans of Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself and Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora will enjoy this grimdark tale of harsh redemption. What to expect: Gritty and visceral combat: High-stakes, heavy engagements where raw skill meets the brutal reality of cold steel. Detailed character growth: A world-weary protagonist forced to navigate his inner trauma and the changing tides of his home city. Fantastical low magic: An atmospheric, soft magic system driven by lingering curses, unique shrines, and entities that thrive on misery. An unforgettable grimdark adventure.
