Prelude to Blackguard: Echoes of Defiance

Blackguard Saga

By: R. S. Cobb

Narrated by: Brys Twidwell

In the depths of Mateka Pits, nothing is as simple as it seems. Two Askari guards carry a message to Moti, a former Askari Blackguard whose past is filled with love, loyalty, and betrayal.

As they descend the prison, Moti’s story—a tapestry of forbidden desire, desperate choices, and the burdens of fatherhood—unfolds across timelines, revealing the hidden ties that bind past and present.

This short story, Prelude to Blackguard: Echoes of Defiance, offers another compelling chapter in the Blackguard Saga—bridging the acclaimed Blackguard: Way of the Askari with the upcoming prequel comic Blackguard: Echoes of Defiance. A tale of vengeance, loyalty, and the heavy price of destiny, it reveals how the shadows of the past ignite the wars of tomorrow.

Step into the depths—where truth binds tighter than chains.

More to come

This book is a short prelude to a larger story. I recommend reading the Blackguard: Way of the Askari before reading this.
