The Crimson Coil, by Timothy M. Cart, writing as Leo Rián, is an otherworldly, dark fantasy novel filled with intrigue, betrayal and arcane magic set in the ravaged world of Myn. The story centers around Charles Warfield, a lackluster, low-ranking noble living in the hidden kingdom of Zannistar whose life is about to become much stranger, darker and generally more interesting than he would like. The Crimson Coil is book one of The Warfield Accord trilogy.
