Short Story
Suggested Reading Order: This story contains important backstory and worldbuilding connected to the events of Dungeon Lords: The Lost Disciple. For the best experience, read Book 1 before starting this dark prequel.
Before the Dungeon Lords existed… before Eli claimed the throne… there was Cosimir. A devoted miner. A respected lord. A man deeply in love. Until betrayal tore his life apart—and he surrendered to something far darker than sorrow.
Banished from the kingdoms of Evania and left for dead, Cosimir makes a fateful decision that will alter the course of the world: he embraces forbidden magic. Ancient. Corrupting. Unstoppable.
This is the story of a man’s transformation into a monster. A fall so catastrophic it reverberates across an entire land.
For fans of dark fantasy and villain origin stories, The Revenant’s Tale is a raw, emotionally intense prequel that uncovers the truth behind Evania’s greatest menace—and reveals secrets still buried in shadows.
