The Rising of the Pyre (The Gobfire Adventures)

The Rising of the Pyre The frontier town of Sanctuary is no longer a secret. It is a beacon. And in a world teetering on the edge of a cosmic war, a beacon is the first thing the darkness tries to extinguish. Having successfully recovered five of the seven divine Shards of the Concordant Heart, the Gobfire Crew finally has a moment to breathe. But the Gods are not finished with them yet. Zirza Rellok, a brilliant hobgoblin cleric haunted by the tragic loss of her twin brother, receives a terrifying divine mandate from Micah'el, the God of Bravery: She must retrieve the Shard of Sacred Resolve from the heart of a corrupted city, and she must resurrect the long-dead, legendary military faction known as the Order of the Pyre. To do so, Zirza must face the literal ghosts of her past and step into a leadership role she never asked for. Back in Sanctuary, Lord Commander Gunnar Anvorsson faces an equally daunting battle. He must transition his ragtag, refugee town into an impenetrable, heavily armed metropolis before the shadows fall. With the help of the fierce fire-mage Blax, the lethal rogue Tikka, and the brilliant inventor Kippa, Gunnar races against time to build a fortress, secure trade routes, and train a chaotic influx of untested recruits into a disciplined army. But amidst the grueling mud, steel, and administrative chaos, life stubbornly finds a way to bloom. Love kindles in unexpected places, a massive, internationally attended goblin wedding threatens to test the town's logistical limits (and patience), and an impossible miracle proves that the Gods are watching over them closely. As rival cults begin to unite in the deep woods and ancient enemies map their borders, the heroes of Sanctuary must learn that true strength isn't just about surviving the night. It is about having the courage to build something worth protecting. They must raise the Pyre. Because the long winter is coming—and the shadows have finally learned exactly where to look.
