The Traitor and The Wretch

By: Walls, Jasmine

THE TRAITOR & THE WRETCH is an illustrated novel written by Jasmine Walls, illustrated by Rowan MacColl, with cover art by Amy Phillips.

In a world of heroic prophecies and terrifying gods, can a couple of doomed henchmen lie, steal, and kill their way to a happy ending?

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.
