Blood, Sake, & Starfire
by William Haddix

They came for the Forge-Heart.

They didn't expect the ones guarding it.

Deep beneath a broken world, an ancient power burns-older than empires, stronger than kings, and dangerous enough to rewrite reality itself. The Forge-Heart was never meant to be found.

But now it has been.

And something out there wants it back.

Standing in the way?

A crew of fighters who don't know how to quit.

Tj - a red oni with a blade of living starfire and a mouth that hits just as hardKurofang - a feral beast who laughs through blood and battleGanzan - a walking wall of iron and bone who crushes anything in his pathSoryu - a fox-spirit strategist weaving magic through chaosCaleb - a deadeye gunslinger who never misses when it counts

They drink hard.
They fight harder.
And they don't back down.

When the enemy arrives, they don't come as an army.

They come as The Hand.

Precise. Controlled. Unstoppable.

Each one stronger than the last.

Each one designed to break them.

But the Crimson Tempest doesn't break.

They adapt.

They push back.

And when the fight stops being fair...

They stop playing fair.

Brutal fights
Sharp humor and trash talk
A crew you'll want to drink with (if you survive)
Dark fantasy with fire, steel, and chaos

If you like relentless action, found-family chaos, and heroes who hit first and laugh after...

Blood, Sake, & Starfire is your next obsession.
