Silent Witch Author Matsuri Isora Announces New Fantasy Novel Bōkyaku no Curse Knight

Matsuri Isora announced on Thursday that a new novel, Bōkyaku no Curse Knight (Curse Knight of Oblivion), will ship on November 13 with illustrations by Shirotaka, the illustrator of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. The bookstore e-hon teases the premise of a hidden power described as the most powerful curse, and frames the book as a refreshing knight fantasy about a tenacious boy.

The new book carries the title Bōkyaku no Curse Knight, or Curse Knight of Oblivion, and is set for a November 13 release. Shirotaka, who illustrated Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, handles the illustrations. The bookseller e-hon describes the premise around a hidden power that is the most powerful curse, and calls the story a knight fantasy about a tenacious boy striving despite the odds to become a hero.

Isora's Silent Witch story began on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in February 2020. Kadokawa started publishing the light novel series in June 2021, and the 12th volume shipped on June 10. The author also wrote a two-volume prequel series, Silent Witch -another-, with Fujimi.
