Arik Delvin never asked to be a prophet. A jaded conman surviving among ruins and superstition in the post-apocalyptic Wastes, he earns his keep by spinning false miracles for desperate souls. But when his lies accidentally come true, the Wastes begin to whisper his name. Now, hunted by zealots, Hollowed wanderers, and a power older than faith itself, Arik must decide whether he’s been chosen… or cursed.


Beside him stands Mira, a silver-eyed survivor of rebellion burdened by guilt and faith; Nyra, a scarred fighter who once tried to burn prophecy out of the world; and Kevin, a goat far cleverer than he has any right to be. Together they cross a dying land where the sky bleeds ash, the dead still trade tea, and every step threatens to unravel what’s left of the Thread, the force holding everything together.


A thrilling blend of grim imagination and quick wit, The Prophet of Dust is a haunting tale of belief, betrayal, and survival in a world that has forgotten what it means to be saved.

J.W. Knacke is a lifelong reader and storyteller who grew up in the small town of Darwin, Minnesota. His career has brought him to move around the country several times before eventually settling in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, with his wife, five children, and pets. He holds a bachelor’s of science degree in Natural Resources Management from North Dakota State University and a master’s degree from Virginia Tech in Natural Resources Management. J.W. has always been drawn to fantasy, dystopian, and post-apocalyptic worlds. His debut full-length novel is The Prophet of Dust, a story about broken people choosing to help rather than harm. Outside of writing, he is an avid outdoorsman, conservationist, and finds creative inspiration while hiking in nature.
