Synopsis
Concluding the trilogy, Wallie Smith is set the goddess's hardest task yet: uniting the world's fractious swordsmen into a single force capable of standing against the Fire God's sorcerers and the destructive power they wield. Reluctant to lead but out of other options, Wallie discovers just how persuasive a goddess can be when she needs a champion to finish what she started.
