Our first big reveal! Please welcome our debut title, The Traitor & The Wretch.

This gorgeous full wrap-around cover was illustrated by Amy Phillips.

The Traitor & The Wretch is a collaborative effort, written by Jasmine Walls and illustrated by Rowan MacColl, set to be released in Summer/Fall 2025.

In a world of Prophecies and Heroes, who cares about the henchmen?

KNELL was just another nameless cultist trapped under the thrall of the Great One, Bringer of Chaos and fully expected to die on the battlefield. Much to his surprise he’s still alive, but not for long unless he can escape before his distinctive chaos-tainted looks get him captured and killed.

PERCY was the former right hand man of the Prophesized Hero. Disillusioned and bitter, he turned traitor during the great battle against the risen chaos god in an attempt to prove this Hero false. Instead, he lost his hand and became the most wanted man in the kingdom.

These two unlikely allies must work together to survive pitch black tunnels full of mutated creatures, angry mobs, old enemies, and their own haunted pasts. They’ll find unexpected strength in each other—and the possibility for more—if they don’t end up dying before they can make it out of the kingdom.

They weren’t meant for a happy ending, but rules are for good guys and they’ll do whatever it takes to change their fates.

Ebook preorders will open in early March, and anyone who purchases a preorder will receive an exclusive early look at the first chapters!

Print books are slated for September 2025.
