Articulus Stories

{Book Two in the Sketch Trilogy} The outcome of the battle for Flameberg is clear; the kiwi army has claimed an unlikely victory. Soal and Porter continue to lead them across the Outlands, but both the Un-Character and Retna feel that Articulus is taking advantage of them. As Shadow Hand resumes his plot to kill the Un-Character and help Articulus reach the Genesis Stories, Porter takes the kiwi military towards the three Ruins of the Ages, where clues to defeating Articulus lie. Meanwhile, Soal treks alone through evil-infested territory to find the key to their success. But Articulus's forces are growing faster than ever before, and Soal is the only one who can stop them. This is a sequel to The Sketch: The Voyage of Soal, so please read that book first. The next installment is The Sketch: The Vengeance of Articulus.

{Book Three in the Sketch Trilogy} Articulus's army has been split in two. The first half, led by the Dark Lord himself, fled from the Scright Gardens towards the west, upon the defeat of Shadow Hand and his Dark Hand army. They rested in Rogodon for a time, until they sensed a rebellion great enough to get on the move once more. The second half, which was mainly Dark Soldiers occupying the Great Sea, had been chased into the southern Outlands during the Reclaiming, in which Soal and the army returned to where they had started their grand quest. Now, as the Congress of Kiwis approaches, Mervis and his followers become secretive, and Porter the Voltale continues to hold the truths from his trainee. When a terrible attack is declared, Soal and a small band of kiwis set out to destroy the Blade of Dark Light once and for all. As other adventures into the Outlands ensue, Articulus's power grows considerably, and there is only one who can stop him. The Un-Character, however, is surviving in a world of mystery, and is confronted with his most difficult decisions as the end of the war draws near. This is the defining final chapter of the Sketch Trilogy, but in order to read it, you must first read The Sketch: The Voyage of Soal, the first installment, and then its continuation, The Sketch: The Advancement of the Hands. P.S.: You can continue Soal's adventures in The Sketch Survivors Trilogy, starting with The Sketch Survivors: The Secret of Lint Corp.

{Book One in the Sketch Trilogy} In a bleak future world, a timid boy named Samuel Lawrence is sent to yet another boarding school, where a strange secret awaits him. When a corporation known as Lint Corp. delivers him a seemingly unimportant cartoon sketch, Sam is pulled into a fantastical war involving sentient hands, ruling kiwi birds, and the god of death and destruction, Articulus. And Sam, or Soal as his fellow warriors name him, clearly thinks he is incapable of the impossible battles and painstaking destruction he must lead. But there are more dangers to this new world than even Soal expects... This is the first of a trilogy, so don't be surprised by the ending, and be sure to read The Sketch: The Advancement of the Hands to continue the story.
