About the Author

Henry Cantleberry is a husband, father, a naval veteran of 21 years, and a lover of fantasy. The influences in his youth included Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Dune. When he wrote songs during college, his lyrics often reflected fantasy themes; the same went for his papers when he was studying philosophy. He always loved an epic adventure and the scale to be grand. Often, his wife walks a line of encouragement and keeping him rooted in reality. However, she never waivered when it came to supporting him writing his first book. It was a classic epic fantasy that encouraged him to develop the Kingdom of the Crescent series. He lives in the Midwest, steadily writes, and looks forward to next adventure hiking in a national park.

The Oath

The Kingdom of the Cresent

Debut epic fantasy by Henry Cantleberry!

Before empires rise, the world must be tested.

A creeping black fog rolls out of the wilderness, carrying raiders touched by dark magic and leaving villages in ash. The realm within the Crescent Mountains stands unprepared—divided by politics, haunted by old grudges, and blind to the true power moving against it.

As warriors, wanderers, and reluctant heroes are drawn together, ancient magic stirs, dangerous alliances form, and secrets long buried begin to surface. To survive, they must swear oaths of loyalty, faith, and sacrifice—but some promises are easier to make than to keep.

Behind the invasion lies a conspiracy far greater than any army, and the choices made in its shadow will decide whether the realm rises… or falls.

The Oath: The Kingdom of the Crescent is an epic fantasy of honor, political intrigue, and the fragile line between duty and ambition—perfect for readers who love rich world-building, morally complex characters, and the slow burn rise of legends.
