The Dis Trilogy

Three absurd quests. Three increasingly unqualified heroes. One hilariously dysfunctional realm.

In the land of Dis, dragons have gone corporate, prophecies are best ignored, and death is more of a suggestion than a rule. The Dis Trilogy is a genre-bending, trope-skewering, theology-tinged fantasy saga that blends satire, swordplay, and metaphysical slapstick in only the way Robert Kroese can.

Includes all three books in the series:

• Distopia – When an overzealous missionary with a theology degree and zero survival instinct sets out to convert the pagans of Dis, he discovers a world where pirates quote scripture, monsters have metaphorical depth, and gods are best left unclarified.

• Disenchanted – After getting stabbed in the back (literally), legendary warrior-king Boric wakes up undead and unwilling to lie down. Trapped in his own corpse and cursed with a sarcastic sword, he must fight off decay, dark forces, and the bureaucratic nightmare of being legally deceased.

• Disillusioned – A chivalrous knight wakes up 100 years too late to a kingdom powered by steam, ruled by philosophers, and disturbingly short on dragons to slay. With the help of his dimwitted squire, he embarks on a quest to restore honor, relevance, and perhaps indoor plumbing.

Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and anyone who thinks fantasy should come with a user manual, The Dis Trilogy is high fantasy with low tolerance for seriousness. Smart, irreverent, and sneakily profound, this is Kroese at his genre-subverting best.
