Pain is a forge. The soul, raw metal.

From the ruins of a cursed lineage, Dræven Tarânov is born—not a hero, not a savior, but a fractured soul tempered by betrayal and fire. Beneath a bleeding sky, he walks the ash-fields of broken worlds, where justice and destruction have become indistinguishable, and even memory bleeds.

Trained by forgotten sages and hunted by shadows older than time, Dræven must endure a crucible of brutal trials, haunted visions, and soul-shattering revelations. As cursed bloodlines clash and time folds in upon itself, he faces a single, searing truth: the darkness within can be more devastating than the darkness without.

But beyond the agony lies something older—a path veiled in sacred fire, where the soul is stripped, burned, and made bare. In that sacred alchemy, the illusions of self dissolve, and suffering becomes not punishment, but transmutation. As the veil between what is and what must be begins to burn away, every scar becomes a sigil, every grief a rite, every loss a step toward the abyss where awakening waits.

Brought to life in stark, breathtaking gothic art, The Curse II is a haunting symphony of despair, transformation, and desperate hope. Dark, immersive, and achingly poetic, it pulls readers into a dreamlike labyrinth where every step echoes with rage, sacrifice, and the fragile possibility of redemption.

Praised by readers as "a dark and beautiful journey through questions, uncertainty, and discovery," and "a hypnotic legend that refuses to let you go," with artwork "so vivid and raw it pulls you straight into the nightmare," this grimdark epic haunts, not with ghosts, but with truths too raw to forget.

Perfect for fans of Berserk, The Crow, and grimdark masterpieces by Joe Abercrombie and Mark Lawrence.
