Dungeon Lords: The Lost Disciple (Artist's Edition)
Published March 15, 2026
Artist Edition
Where epic fantasy meets fine art.
When professional fantasy artist Painted Dragon Studios discovered Dungeon Lords: The Lost Disciple, the world of Evania inspired an original painting of Faro, the mysterious half-lion warrior at the heart of the saga. That unexpected connection grew into a collaboration and a new edition built around the artwork that brought Faro to life.
Dungeon Lords: The Lost Disciple: Artist’s Edition features the complete original novel with Painted Dragon Studios’ artwork as its exclusive cover, along with a special foreword from the artist discussing the inspiration behind the piece and the world that inspired it.
Inside, Faro awakens with no memory of who he was or why powerful enemies want him dead. Hunted across a fractured realm, he joins an unlikely group of companions whose search for a kidnapped child draws them into a much larger struggle involving fallen heroes, ancient gods, and a prophecy that could determine the fate of Evania.
This special edition also includes The Revenant’s Tale, a 15,000-word Dungeon Lords short story exploring Cosimir’s fall and the tragedy that helped shape one of Evania’s greatest threats.
Created as a celebration of independent fantasy storytelling and fantasy art, the Artist’s Edition offers a unique way to begin the Dungeon Lords: Fate of Evania saga.
The same epic beginning. A new vision of Evania.
