SACRED: Engelsblut
SACRED: Engelsblut opens the Chronik von Ancaria trilogy, a novelization tied to Ascaron Entertainment's action role-playing game SACRED.
Years of peace under King Aarnum I have left parts of Ancaria prosperous while others, like the village of Moorbruch, sink into poverty and fear under the shadow of an uncanny beast. Zara, half-human and half-vampire, driven by both a thirst for blood and a desire to do good, becomes the village's last hope. Together with the thief Falk, she sets out to uncover the truth behind the beast — and stumbles onto a conspiracy that threatens to plunge all of Ancaria into ruin.
The novel is a fast-paced dark fantasy adventure grounded in the SACRED game's world, following genre conventions of monster-hunting and political intrigue rather than building an independent literary universe.
