The Withers Awaken

by Mark Cheverton

Published 3 July 2018

New York Times Bestselling Author! The world of Minecraft comes to life in this thrilling original adventure!

Krael, the Wither King, has been trapped deep underground, ending his reign of terror, and all the NPCs of the Far Lands have all put away their swords in peace except Watcher; the young archer still suspects Krael has bigger plans.

He’s right. In the darkness of the Cave of Slumber, Krael awakens the imprisoned wither horde, and with the help of creepers and endermen, the wither army is released from their rocky jail. They spread across the Far Lands, searching for the ancient Vault of Weapons which will make the army of withers indestructible. But one man alone holds the secret to the Vault’s whereabouts: the Far Land’s last living NPC wizard.

Watcher and his friends must race to find the wizard before Krael and his army of monsters. But if they fail, a wave of destruction, led by the King of the Withers, will sweep across the landscape, destroying everything—and everyone—they know.

Both Watcher, the young NPC leading the villager army, and Krael, King of the Withers, have taken magical weapons from the ancient Vault of Weapons. Watcher is now able to raise a powerful army using dark magic discovered by the warlocks many centuries ago, but Krael has gained complete control over all the monsters of the Overworld and now possesses a vast army, threatening not only the Far Lands but all of Minecraft.

Both Watcher and Krael have learned that the most powerful weapon of all still lies out of their grasps: the Nexus of Might. Only the warrior that possesses the key to the Nexus will be able to stop their enemy. When Krael takes the key, Watcher must sacrifice anything and everything to stop the King of the Withers, before the magic of the Nexus destroys the Far Land and the Overworld forever.

The Wither King

Published 19 April 2018

Life is peaceful and calm in the Far Lands, a mysterious area on the edge of the Overworld in Minecraft. The monster warlords have been destroyed, and the NPC villages are flourishing. But an old warning still echoes in the young NPC Watcher's mind: "Krael, the new Wither King, will bring back his army, as the monster warlocks predicted, and take their revenge on all of the Far Lands."

Watcher is right to be suspicious. Krael, the self-proclaimed King of the Withers, and wearer of the Crown of Skulls, has a plan to bring back the vast army of withers that lie imprisoned in the ancient Cave of Slumber. With the help of a dozen ancient zombie warriors rescued by Krael, they seek to release the withers from their slumber and wreak havoc on the Far Lands. And the only thing in his path is a skinny little archer named Watcher.
