★★★★★ A fast-paced fantasy adventure
Wanted by sorcerers.
Hunted by warlords.
Gaebrel Haarn will fight or die on the Burning Mountain.
Gaebrel Haarn and the crew of the Sparrow have outrun bounty hunters, pirates, and sorcerers, but the cursed medallion they carry refuses to be left behind. Drawn by rumor and necessity to the storm-wracked moon of Ygul, Gaebrel hopes to uncover its secrets-and perhaps find a way to be free of it. But Ygul is no sanctuary. Once the heart of a fallen empire, the world now seethes with warlords, mercenaries, and relics of forgotten powers, all waiting to claim the prize Gaebrel cannot surrender.
Beset by betrayal within his own crew and pursued by enemies both mortal and otherworldly, Gaebrel finds that every ally comes with a knife hidden behind their smile. The Neverborn sorcerers who burned Doran still hunt him, and new foes rise in their wake-mercenary captains, fanatics, and warlords who dream of empire amid Ygul's ruins. To survive, Gaebrel and his comrades must fight their way through ambushes, prison cells, and battlefields where the skies themselves seem ready to fall.
Yet the medallion's grip grows tighter with every passing day. It whispers in Gaebrel's mind, binding him to its fate, even as it drives rifts between brothers-in-arms. To master it-or to be rid of it-he must climb the path to Ygul's greatest secret: the Burning Mountain, a place of fire, legend, and final reckonings.
The Burning Mountain is a storm of swashbuckling adventure, treachery, and high fantasy. From jungle-clad ruins to volcanic strongholds, the third book of The Nine Suns hurls readers deeper into a saga of cursed treasure, reckless daring, and comrades bound together by choice and by chains. Fans of Scott Lynch, Michael Moorcock, and David Gemmell will find a tale where every gamble risks more than life-and the boldest hearts blaze brightest against the storm.
