Synopsis: When adventurers raid the dungeon of an immortal sorcerer known as Akil, he realizes he has to flee before the inquisitors find him. A heretic, thief and killer, Akil lives only for the next scheme to enrich himself and his personal code. To escape, he’ll have to deal with the border guards, patrols and other threats. With only the clothes on his back and a magical sword, he’ll be hard pressed to survive the hunt.

The Heretic Cycle is a new fantasy serial from author, podcaster and game designer Ross Payton. Follow the saga of a villain who builds dungeons, fights parties of adventurers and performs forbidden magic; a man damned by his choices and must wander the world alone for a crime that can never be forgiven.

This is my first foray into fantasy fiction. I've previously written a lot of D&D material - including the New World, a D&D campaign with 4 free sourcebooks (I know you all probably know that but you never know)

I aimed for a darker feel for this story because I wanted to reverse a lot of common fantasy tropes. Focus on a villain instead of 'heroes' - plot revolves about selfish goals instead of a noble quest and so forth. I hope you enjoy it!

Hell yes. Going upstairs to buy it right now.

Tadanori Oyama:
I'll give it a try.
