The 12 Labors

In a world where necromancy is feared and forbidden, Albert has chosen a different path: mastering a dark art without succumbing to its shadows.

When he receives an invitation to the legendary Tournament of the 12 Labors, a deadly competition reserved for the most promising mages and warriors, Albert knows he's facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Winning could earn him official recognition as a third-level necromancer… and prove that necromancy can be ethical, just, and necessary.

By his side is a team of old and new allies: Elka, the charismatic and determined half-elf; Tempras, the impulsive and fearless elf; and Orlik, the brilliant and unpredictable kobold. Together, they will discover that the tournament is more than a test of strength and cunning—it's a descent into the limits of the mind, morality, and loyalty.

Amid shocking twists, ruthless trials, and a past that demands its toll, Albert will face a threat far greater than the competition itself: Kane, a powerful demonologist who has chosen him as a pawn in a plan that could change the fate of the world.

A gripping YA fantasy full of action, where the true enemy isn't darkness… but the temptation to wield it.
