Joseph Armstead

Having been published in several print magazines and online journals, his most recent stories center  on the saga of a distant planet, home to "The Withered Land".  



At the heart of an eons-old star system, it is the Last Place in Creation. Under dual suns, one a red giant and the other a blue dwarf, it is a world of Fallen Kings, nomadic mutant tribes, alien monsters and haunted, dead cities.  It is a place where Time is broken.



This is the place the Knight D'Spayr calls home and, in order, these are its stories...



1) D'Spayr, A Knight in the Withered Land

2) The Traveler in Red: Warlords of the Withered Land

3) The Withered Land, The Empire Falls: Hell's Avatar

4) The Withered Land: Dragons and Marauders

5) Mune'stahr and Pylott: Hellmarrow, a tale of The Ventriculum

6) The Withered Land, The Empire Falls: Abyssium

7) Nygeia, Princess of the Withered Land: Palace of A Thousand Devils



And coming soon:



8) D'Spayr: The Soldiers of Torment

9) Mune'stahr and Pylott: DaurkRyft, a tale of The Ventriculum
