The Wooden Crown

Aron Tongil spent a long time working toward the fulfillment of his revenge. A cursed dark mage and necromancer destroyed all his friends, his beloved wife, and his son. And vengeance was done: the hero brutally dealt with his blood enemy, and in his basements he found a demon locked in a magical cell. Everyone knows the treachery of such creatures, but… for the demon’s freedom, it promised the hero that his loved ones would be alive again—and Aron couldn’t refuse the deal. The demon didn’t lie, but it also didn’t reveal all the truth. The hero ends up in a parallel world where the people he loves are safe and sound, but Aron himself is now a completely different person—here he is a dark mage and necromancer, hated by everyone and feared by all.

Meanwhile, the hero’s son is kidnapped. The kidnappers claim they mean well—to save the boy from the terrible fate supposedly prepared for him by the dark mage. The boy doesn’t know who his father really is, nor that the awful necromancer Aron Tongil is in no way threatening his life; on the contrary, he will spare no effort—using all his strength—to save it. Then comes the Hour of Chaos. The story moves inevitably toward the finale. The dark mage will have to keep his promises and pay his debts—and also deal with enemies, whose number is growing too quickly.
