The Faraway Paladin Omnibus Vol. 05

Contains the Complete Volumes 9-10!

Under cover of night, Will and his party set out on a quest to slay the calamitous elder dragon Valacirca, bringer of war and transgressor upon the dwarves’ former home. Before they can vanquish the ancient beast, however, they must survive the journey to the Rust Mountains where it dwells.

The way is long and fraught with dangers both anticipated and unexpected. But even with the odds against them, Will, Menel, Reystov, Al, and Ghelreis venture forth, emboldened by each other’s bravery—for where there is darkness, there may always yet be light.

Title Notes:

The first anime series aired in October 2021 with a second to air in 2022. J-Novel Club also publishes the original light novels of The Faraway Paladin, keeping the franchise visible across formats and spurring demand for the original source material.

Over 30,000 copies of the original novels have been sold as eBooks, with the series returning soon from extended hiatus and a second anime series airing in late 2022! Japanese turnout is strong, with the manga adaptation continuing its release in monthly serialisation throughout the pause. J-Novel Club is also releasing the manga digitally and in print.

Genre staying power: With its European-inspired setting and epic fantasy story, The Faraway Paladin follows the grand medieval tradition of stories such as Parzival and Tristan, telling a story of emotional and moral growth alongside exciting moments of high action. The serialised storytelling also encourages returning for the next volume!
