The Curse of MaronSome places do not want to be found.Others are waiting.When Captain Dorian Skane leads his crew to the forgotten fortress of Maron, they expect danger, treasure, and legends long buried beneath stone and shadow. What they find instead is something far older and far more patient.Maron is not a ruin. It is awake.As the crew pushes deeper into the fortress, the walls begin to watch, the silence begins to judge, and the line between memory and reality starts to blur. What Maron offers is not merely wealth, but temptation-and a price that cannot be paid with gold.At the heart of the fortress lies a relic whispered about only in fragments of legend: a stone statue said to grant life, healing, and impossible promises. But every gift has its hunger. And once awakened, Maron does not simply test those who enter-it remembers them.When Dorian brings the curse home, the consequences spread beyond the fortress walls. Cities fall silent. Life drains away. And the choice becomes inevitable: protect what he loves-or sacrifice everything to stop what he has unleashed.The Curse of Maron is a dark fantasy novel about loyalty, guilt, and the weight of love in the face of ancient powers. It blends atmospheric world-building, character-driven tension, and a creeping sense of dread that grows page by page.This is not a story about heroes who conquer darkness.It is a story about what darkness asks in return.Perfect for readers who enjoy: Dark, atmospheric fantasySlow-burn horror elementsMorally complex charactersAncient curses and forbidden relicsStories where silence is as dangerous as steelOnce Maron has noticed you, it does not forget.
