About

Written and illustrated by Matt Haag

Matt Haag has been creating worlds on paper since he was three years old. An artist, illustrator, and author based in Bountiful, Utah, Matt brings The Relic Order to life with his own hand — every illustration in the book is his. The series has been years in the making, and the story of Cedric and his world is one Matt has been living with for a long time.

The Relic Order: The Treacherous Theatre

Cedric is thirteen years old, an orphan, and slowly going mad. He has seven days to find the missing pieces of the world-gear before it all collapses — along with his mind. There's just one problem: the child collectors are hunting him.

Dark, funny, and impossible to put down.
