Dog Day Knights (Knights of the Machine)

A young and disillusioned orphan named Zarius arrives in the remote village of Ten-Berry seeking the mythical Day Knight. Instead, he finds DK—a reclusive hermit haunted by his past. Despite initial doubts, DK takes Zarius on as an apprentice, only to discover he still has much to learn himself. As their bond deepens and their skills sharpen, DK reveals the story of his near-fatal encounter with a nefarious entity known as the “the bog witch,” which nearly ended his Knighthood.

Through difficult relationships, relentless endurance, and unwavering faith in the Sun—DK’s higher power—the two self-proclaimed Knights strive to scour evil from the lands around Ten-Berry. Zarius seeks to forge an identity after a youth of idle selfishness, while DK grapples with the scars of his past and the dangers still ahead. As they face bandits and treacherous knights from the capital city of Endlin, the threat of the bog witch and her odious creations looms ever closer. With the witch’s claws closing around Ten-Berry and the surrounding countryside, the Knights must confront their deepest fears. Can they stand against the darkness? And what sinister secrets does the bog witch still hide?
