Description

Learn the tragic origins of the wicked Arch-Illager in this official Minecraft novel, a prequel to Minecraft Dungeons!

Brave heroes have banded together to take a perilous journey through the war-torn Overworld to defeat the Arch-Illager and his formidable army. But how did that army come to be? And just where did the Arch-Illager come from?

The terrible truth behind the Arch-Illager is that he never asked for ultimate power. Known as Archie, this little Illager is bullied by his fellow Illagers and mistrusted by fearful Villagers. Archie only ever wanted a place to call home, but he finds himself shunned by all. As he wanders through deep forests and up craggy mountains, he stumbles upon a dark cavern—with a sinister secret waiting inside.

Archie discovers an object that whispers to him promises of power: the Orb of Dominance. With it, Archie realizes he can wield incredible magic and reshape a world that turned its back on him. All he needs to do is exactly what it tells him . . .

After all, it’s called the Orb of Dominance for a reason, right? But is it named for the way Archie uses it—or is it using him?

    This book is so good because it is based on the real story of the game, and Matt Forbeck added more cool detailed to it, so I look forward to part 2.
  • Amazing!

    This book definitely went in depth with the whole story of Archie and it definitely made me as a reader feel attached to a lot of the characters introduced in this. I found myself smirking when I recognized moments from the cinematic intro in the book, and I really liked how we could see Archie regret his decision to take the orb and how he felt he had no choice but to be the bad guy towards the end. 10/10 would recommend to Minecraft lovers or just readers in general.
