Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft

A terrifying mystery spans a world of horrors in this four-issue comics mini-series, collected here!

Ravenloft is falling apart, and nobody knows why. But it may have something to do with three undead creatures, called Reborn, that have suddenly appeared across the Domains of Dread.

To save the plane, and the Reborn, from utter destruction, the proteges of Rudolph Van Richten begin an investigation that brings them into conflict with some of Ravenloft’s most dangerous villains. Ez D’Avenir must escape the grisly laboratory and ghoulish flesh golems of Victra Mordenheim. The Weathermay-Foxglove twins wield sword and sorcery against a seething bodytaker plant on the misty moors of Mordent. And detective duo Alanik Ray and Arthur Sedgewick face the cult of Mother Lorinda in a Tepest village. When the proteges are reunited, it’s in a fight for the fate of Ravenloft!

Join Bram Stoker Award-winning author Amy Chu (Carmilla: The First Vampire, Red Sonja) and hit artist Ariela Kristantina (The Girl Who Draws on Whales, Adora and the Distance) for this genre-bending mystery that will intrigue and terrify until the very end!
