What is The Crimson Spire?
The Crimson Spire is my first published fantasy novel. Feel free to read the book blurb below:
For generations, the kingdom of Averose has been stripped of magic, while its rival, Tamaria, guards the secret of the Thaumas—warriors who wield elemental power drawn from the towering Crimson Spire. Bound by an uneasy truce, both kingdoms stand on the brink of war, and five lives will determine the fate of the realm.
Gerard Caltheos, a prince of Averose, never understood why his father led secret journeys to the border—until he awakens the Flame, the rarest of all powers. Now, he is a threat to both kingdoms, a spark that could ignite war.
Emillira Zakarian, a Tamarian princess, watches her father's strength wane as the High Thauma tournament crowns a new champion. But as whispers of rebellion and treachery spread through the palace, she realizes that the greatest threats come from within.
Cobain Scott, a warrior desperate for respect, is assigned to the Royal Guard where he must navigate court politics and uncover the truth behind his estranged father's dangerous ambitions.
Genthar Caltheos, once a feared warrior, drowns his regrets in drink, clinging to the only thing left to fight for—his children. But as old enemies resurface and past mistakes return, Genthar must decide whether redemption is worth the cost of war.
Dennel Couladon, a soldier stationed in the icy Coldlands, is sworn to defend the border against unseen threats. But when an ancient prophecy stirs and war looms, he will face a choice that could shift the balance of power forever.
As Averose seeks to reclaim its stolen birthright and Tamaria fights to protect its supremacy, one truth becomes clear: magic is not a gift—it is a battleground.
Magic is a weapon. Power is hoarded. War is inevitable.
