Cracking the World: A Grave Mistakes Prequel
Eldrisil, the epicenter of the world's magic.
In the heart of this mystical realm, a group as unlikely as their quest assembles – a daring mage named Venica, a roguish knave named Sebastian, and a conflicted bishop named Aurelius. Their aim? A daring ritual that defies possibility itself.
Venica, driven by curiosity, seeks to test her magical prowess like never before. Aurelius, torn between faith and desperation, yearns to resurrect his son from the clutches of death. Meanwhile, Sebastian, the ever-charming knave, is just in it for the adventure.
Together, they must outsmart both the arcane guardians and their own doubts as they ascend the tower, fighting with both their wits and blades. All the while, Aurelius grapples with his beliefs, hoping against hope that their audacious act might somehow be in alignment with the grand, unfathomable Grace of his goddess.
In the enchanting world of Eldrisil, where magic knows no bounds, this unlikely band of companions embarks on a perilous journey that will test their mettle, beliefs, and the very fabric of reality itself.

A bishop, a knight, and a mage walk into a tower. The tower happens to be the center of all magic, and their cargo just happens to be a dead body. Odd fantasy chaos will undoubtedly be in store.
This prequel to Grave Mistakes: A Necromantic Adventure occurs hundreds of years earlier chronologically, but given the events in the main book I'd recommend reading this afterwards. It answers a few questions about how the story world came to be riven by a rift separating the land of the living from the land of the dead. While I found it a little bit too fast to really understand the characters, it gave another chance to see how everything started and recognise events.
