The first installment in an immersive new space opera series combining the epic scale of the original Star Wars trilogy and the ensemble-cast adventure of Firefly in a world where alien technologies, hidden magic, and ancient evils push the limits of reality itself.
Beyond the edge of known space, the Frontier awaits four souls...
Fall Arden, freelance Ranger for hire, wields an unbreakable sword and a mechanized bow. Low on funds, he's taken a job on a dangerous expedition, one that promises a hefty reward. But danger lurks in the Frontier, a fact his employer refuses to acknowledge.
Ban Morgan is the leader of an Alidian marine squad, fighting to regain his honor. But the man who ruined him, heir to a powerful house, stands in his way. As he prepares for the orbital assault on an enemy installation, he draws strength from the words of an ancient knight's order, one he dreamt of joining before he lost his way.
Tieger of Westmarch, Malleus Maleficarum and primary enforcer of the Elcosian faith, hunts down the arcanist witches wherever they may flee. Using the mighty gifts of his god, Elcos, and a technologically advanced ship predating the dawn of history, he scours the stars for his prey, burning a path to their hidden world.
Sidna Orin, a mercurial young arcanist, searches for the power to save her people. In a lost temple on a forgotten world, she's closer than ever to finding what she seeks. Able to harness the dual forces of fire and lightning, she won't let anything, or anyone, stand in her way.
Forced together by fate on paths that collide in chaos, they must fight to survive in a galaxy on the brink of war. As their stories interweave in love and hate, redemption and revenge, one threat will eclipse their greatest fears: a being of utter darkness and its imminent return...
THE DARK THAT DWELLS: a thrilling debut that blends science fiction and fantasy, essential for readers craving a robust, character-driven saga set against the backdrop of an expansive universe with deep world-building at its core.
Praise for TDTD
"After reading [The Dark That Dwells], I know enough to know it belongs on my shelf with other sci fi greats such as The Expanse, Red Rising and Star Wars. ... it is mind blowing what these two authors packed into this one book... everything was explained and illustrated SO WELL. If you love the action and weapons of Star Wars, the political intrigue of Battlestar Galactica, the humor of being a good guy sometimes of the wrong side of the law of Firefly, the epic world building of The Expanse - READ THIS BOOK!" (5 stars) The Nerdy Narrative

About the Author
Matt Digman is exactly one half the creative force behind the epic fantasy space opera novel, The Dark That Dwells. Born and raised in Arkansas, he spent his free time studying Star Wars technical manuals, searching for his next favorite RPG, and watching his Star Trek: TNG VHS tapes until they fell apart. Basically, he was nerdy when nerdy wasn't cool. He currently works as a pediatric emergency medicine physician in Alabama and writes when he ought to be sleeping.
Ryan Roddy grew up across the southeast, chasing her dream of becoming a professional actress. Though she eventually traded the stage for a stethoscope, she never gave up her love for great storytelling--or for playing dress up as an adult. Now she works as a pediatric emergency medicine physician to afford her cosplay and Disney obsessions. She loves the characters she's written for The Dark That Dwells with her husband almost as much as she loves him and their four dogs.
