NECROMANCER

NECROMANCER
By Gary Laney

GENRE: Horror, Fantasy
LOGLINE:


A vengeful young prince teams up with a repentant sorceress  to travel from 13th century to modern L.A to stop his necromancer uncle's undead army.  As they battle ancient magic and modern horrors, they must confront their own inner demons to close a portal to the underworld and prevent the destruction of humanity.

SYNOPSIS:

In the war-torn 13th century, Eric Blackstone, a rebellious young prince, narrowly escapes the massacre of his family and the fall of his kingdom to the dark sorcerer Darkane, his exiled uncle and master of necromancy. Bound by vengeance and burdened with the sacred heirloom dagger of his lineage, Eric swears to reclaim his throne and stop Darkane from unleashing an undead apocalypse.

Guided by the reluctant and enigmatic Alina, Darkane’s former apprentice, Eric learns to temper his hatred of magic while mastering the skills of leadership and battle. Together, they must confront Darkane’s growing forces, resurrected armies, and relentless dark rituals.

As Darkane seizes control of the blood moon, a celestial event capable of tearing open a portal to the underworld, he aims to summon legions of unimaginable horrors—and to reunite with his dead wife and children at the cost of the living world. In a desperate bid to stop him, Eric and Alina are thrust forward in time to a ruined, zombie-overrun Los Angeles, where Darkane has forged an undead empire, wielding his power to subjugate the modern world.

Amid a fragile alliance with a band of desperate survivors, Eric and Alina must navigate the devastation of the future, push back Darkane’s hordes, and stop the necromancer from using the blood moon to collapse the barriers between life and death forever.

In a climactic battle that spans centuries, Eric faces his ultimate challenge—not only defeating Darkane and claiming his destiny as king but embracing magic as a force for good, with Alina’s guidance. Together, they bring an end to Darkane’s reign of terror, closing the portal to the underworld and restoring balance to their fractured world.

Necromancer is a dark fantasy epic about vengeance, redemption, and the delicate balance between power and responsibility. With a rich blend of medieval and modern settings, it explores the sacrifices required to confront evil and the enduring hope that even in the darkest of times, light can prevail.
