The Black Retreat: Dark Omens
The first book of "The Crimson Chronicles" trilogy.
—
In the heart of the vast Great Forest of Althea, the young mage Clei has spent years honing his powers, driven by a singular purpose: to find his long-lost father. But as his strength reaches a frustrating plateau, Clei is forced to abandon the solitude of his woodland home and enter the Kingdom of Lydia.
What he finds is a world teetering on the brink of chaos. The Human Realm has entered its darkest era—factions wage war, ancient prophecies resurface, and whispers of doom fill the air. A malevolent force from the past, responsible for a catastrophic disaster decades ago, has returned with a vengeance, threatening to turn the world upside-down.
Confronted with unimaginable horrors, Clei must blaze a path of destruction through a world on the edge of ruin, unraveling the dark secrets of his past before they consume him.

Author's Note: This is the very first book I wrote when I was younger, and to fully incorporate the lore of all my stories, I decided to pick this up along with two other books in the trilogy:
The Empyrean Ascent
Echoes in the Abyss
