From Black Fires Rise: an epic sci-fantasy adventure

By Joseph Sale

No one survives the fire...

At seventeen, Telos fled home, abandoning a life of wealth and luxury to live on the streets with rogues and carnies. He became the greatest thief in Gorgosa-until he was caught.

Now, imprisoned in Ob-Koron, the harshest prison in the world, Telos faces punishment by Daimonic flame. Few survive. Those who do are crippled and scarred for life, their wills broken.

But Telos' skills have drawn the eye of the gods. They need Telos to retrieve a weapon for a coming war millennia in the making.

Caught up in seismic events in which shapeshifting Daimons, rogue gods, and mad despots are all closing in on the same prize, Telos-who has only ever relied on himself-will have to learn to lean on others. For, if he fails, the whole world will be consumed in black fire...

From Black Fires Rise is an action-packed, heroic sci-fantasy adventure perfect for fans of The Majipoor Cycle and Dungeon Crawler Carl.
