When Dresden encounters a strangely-attired boy lying unconscious in the forested hills of Hep Duatab, he is perplexed: the boy is clearly an 'outsider', as those who are from beyond the Hepstraad are known. But what was he doing here, and how did he suddenly appear in the forest like this? Little does Dresden know, the boy is from much, much farther away, from a world that is well beyond Dresden's comprehension. Worse still, the boy is the first harbinger of an impending upheaval, a catastrophe that will engulf the Hepstraad and all those who call it their home. The outsider boy is soon followed by a powerful young girl, a girl who wields an unusual sword and a mighty stave, who regards magic as a mere triviality... and yet is obliviously unaware of Dresden's land and all that lies within. As a confluence of events takes place - the invasion of an army of half-giants; a betrayal and the theft of Hep Duatab's greatest treasure; and a friendship forged in the collision of worlds - Dresden and his new companions find themselves drawn into conflict with a dark power, an evil that spans two Universes and threatens all existence with annihilation. An evil that the Robe might save them from. If only they could get it back... --- Shoutout to Rose @MysteryPersonified for the awesome cover!

In a dimly lit market place, surrounded by hagglers and merchants, thieves and magicians sat a lone and beautiful girl. They call her Ophelia (although that is not her real name) and they say she can see the future. It's a lie, of course - a trick - but they do not need to know, for the truth is much crueler than the illusion. She is a Deathwitch. Ophelia lives a life of dark spells and black magic. She is a finder of lost things, a musician to the dead and a teller of tall tales. And yet she, herself, is a part of a much bigger story, a story of sleeping witches in glass coffins, of bottled souls and undead bandits. She is a Deathwitch and she is going to save the world.

Against all odds, half-blooded Alex has carved himself a position in the Angleyan Empire as an elite Black Knight with the help of those sympathetic to his plight-at a cost. He's ostracized himself from his own people, the impure races of laborers in the slums, and as a man in a woman's world, he'll never be free of others' cruelest mockeries or rumors. To make matters worse, The Dannic Federation, Angley's most formidable military rival, is once again itching for war against its perennial foe. The Dans would like nothing more than to eradicate every last human being with Angleyan blood from the face of the planet, including half-bloods like Alex. With a genocidal enemy on one front and xenophobia haranguing him from behind, can Alex live up to his duties to the Angleyan Empire or will his resentment cause him to crumble and fail? How much blood will be spilled, regardless of who he decides to hold as his true enemy? A huge shoutout to Aguna Mulciber (@syrahsyarah) for designing this cover. I cannot understate how glad I was that I found a good artist to do so. I would not have been able to design one half as well myself. Highest rank: #3 in 2019undiscovered1k
