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:
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.
