Forged in Fire
The Mourne Saga, Book One
by LaRon Anthony Black
After his mother gives birth to a boy, surrounded by the flames that consumed his home, Draven Mourne carries the spark of Vyrion, god of fire and unyielding will. Raised in the coastal city of Greyharbor, he grows into a scholar turned warrior through humble beginnings, unbearable hardship, and strict discipline as he is haunted by the power in his blood and the destiny whispered in ash.
When the ruthless syndicate known as the Black Jar ignites a war in the slums of the Warrens, Draven is drawn into a struggle that will decide the fate of Greyharbor itself. Allies like the steadfast Oathbound Knight Geraldus Tregard and the Dwarven master smith Dorrin Emberwright stand beside him as mentors, helping him become a better young man. But as darker forces rise, and a Garrin Vael, leader of the Black Jar, whose sinister plot to drown the city in darkness, will test Draven's resolve.
Steel will clash with shadow, ancient gods will test mortal hearts, and Draven must decide whether he is a weapon, a savior, or something far more.
