Furnace: Season One

By L J Ribar

Leverage meets ancient Babylon. They walked through fire. Now they walk through Babylon's shadows. Three years after surviving Nebuchadnezzar's furnace, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are the most famous men in the empire - and the most useless. Paraded as miracles at palace ceremonies while Hebrew families are crushed under corrupt taxation, they've petitioned through official channels and accomplished nothing. Until a young palace servant delivers a piece of bread and a desperate plea. His sister has been taken as payment for a debt that was never real. Forty-seven families have been destroyed by the same systematic fraud. And the system that's crushing them can't be fixed - because it's working exactly as designed. Time to build something outside the system. Recruiting a grief-fueled blacksmith who's spent five years settling scores with his fists, and a woman who spent three months gathering intelligence from inside her own captivity, the team launches an intricate operation that turns Babylon's corruption against itself. Forged documents. Infiltrated networks. Manufactured audits. Redistributed gold. And a corrupt official who never sees it coming - because the evidence that destroys him is his own. FURNACE: Season One collects all three episodes of the series: The Miriam Gambit - Divine Intervention - The Merchant's Gambit Plus the bonus prequel Before the Fire. For readers who love the ensemble dynamics of Leverage, the intricate cons of The Sting, and the immersive historical worlds of Ken Follett - with a team you'll root for from the first page. The fire didn't stop them. Nothing will.
