The Life and Death of Cedric is an epic historical fantasy novel by Sazar, set to be released in mid-2026 — a story unlike anything that has come before it.
Set in the year 1822 LC, in an alternate world shaped by the long shadow of the fallen Ascanian Empire. The story unfolds across the continent of Aerona where truth survives only in fragments, and power lies in the hands of those who control the memory of nations.
The story begins in the nation of Albion, a vast realm split between four seats of power. In this land, a foreigner and a student of the Royal College, Cedric, finds himself torn between duty, doubt, and a growing sense that his life was meant for something far beyond the roles laid out before him.
Across the sea, in the sprawling city of Hestrisis, Alistaire struggles to shelter his siblings from the grinding poverty of a world that was never built for them. His choices, like Cedric's, ripple outward—subtly, irreversibly—laying the foundation for a greater design than either can foresee.
Between these two, a multitude of lives begin to stir. Woven through power, politics, fading identities, and the desire for something they cannot name, their stories do not merely intersect, they converge—slowly, inevitably—into the birth of a new age.
The Life and Death of Cedric is not bound by simple genre. It does not conform, nor merely defy—it creates. This is not mere epic. Nor historical fiction. Nor fantasy. It is something else. Something truer. The culmination of all three, but beyond them all.
It is, in its simplest form: Epic Historical Fantasy.
