In 1791 a mysterious object appeared in the heavens. Bigger than most cities, the Elysium object drifts in the orbit of the moon. From whence it came, nobody knows. But many believe it had always been up there, waiting for the right time to reemerge from the void. Others believe it's nothing but a mirage. But even illusions serve a purpose. Ghulam Ali was one of the rare visionaries who attempted to reach the object by a rocket in the 1820s. But both missions ended with fatal results. After repeated failures, Ghulam Ali became a recluse on the ocean platform called the Babylon Project.Fifty years later, a Chairman of the Association of Ishtar travels to his Island with an armed delegation of elite soldiers known as The Airborn Dragoons. What could she want of the disgraced visionary?The Association of Ishtar is a series created by Bonsart Bokel in collaboration with various illustrators from all over the world.The Association is a clandestine organization investigating anomalies called Rifts - portals to other worlds. Most are harmless, but some lead to planes containing more advanced human civilizations or alien lifeforms.

A novel with illustrations about Igraine Mortuba's adventures in Hades: an inter-dimensional space station drifting inside the void between worlds. Once she makes her way through the Halls of Hades, she ends up in Arkology. A cobbled-together community of refugees who, after losing their respective worlds to catastrophe, are delivered to this subterranean realm by an entity known as the White Airship. Now they must survive inside the overgrown ruins of Hades, which are home to every imaginable horror known to the multiverse. Igraine Mortuba came to this place to be healed, after which she would be free to continue her life of idleness. But before she's offered a cure, she must prove herself to her mysterious benefactor. First, she must survive the challenging lifestyle of Arkology's denizens, lest she'd end up in the Styx like all others who perish in this place. As Igraine gets initiated in the way of the scavs, she learns about the many opportunities the Capitol of the Multiverse has to offer. Can Igraine prove herself to a society of inter-dimensional exiles while navigating the machinations of Arkology's Founder? Find out in Bound for the Styx.
