The Snow Leopards Crown – A Dark Elf Story

Description

Where family honor cuts deeper than steel, and every secret carries a price.

The Snow Leopard’s Crown follows Ash, the weary Dark Elf detective of Hope, as he sinks into the grip of opium and the haunting memories of his failures. Dragged back from the brink by friends, Ash finds himself unwillingly drawn into a new web of intrigue when his estranged father arrives with desperate news: Ash’s sister Shade has stolen the Crown of Kings, a sacred relic demanded by the warlord known as the Snow Leopard.

With assassins and agents already scouring the city, Ash must confront not only the enemies in Hope’s underworld, but also his own fractured loyalties—to his people, his family, and his fragile place in the city he calls home. Torn between duty and survival, his search for Shade pits him against ruthless foes, long-buried family secrets, and the dangerous lure of old addictions.

Kim Kerr expands the dark, snow-shadowed world of Hope with a tale that blends fantasy and noir into a razor-sharp narrative of betrayal, loyalty, and survival.

Highlights include:

• Ash’s brutal struggle with addiction and the ghosts of his past.
• The return of his estranged father, and a mission that could restore—or destroy—their family honor.
• The theft of the Crown of Kings, and the agents of the Snow Leopard hunting to retrieve it.
• A descent into Hope’s darkest alleys, dens, and guilds where betrayal waits at every turn.
• Themes of loyalty, guilt, and survival in a city that devours the weak.

Atmospheric, gripping, and morally complex, The Snow Leopard’s Crown is a fantasy-noir that proves even in the shadows of Hope, the past is never truly gone.
