Rogues of the Black Fury

When a band of shadowy fanatics abducts Javin Wollstone s little sister, Bella, from his care, his only hope to bring her home is turning to a hard-bitten band of special warriors, the Black Furies, led by Commander Rusk. Javin follows Rusk and his men through a maze of political intrigues, religious fanaticism, and centuries of distrust. Little do they know that little Bella Wollstone could be the spark that sets off a war of Armageddon. The investigation unfolds into a frantic chase that leads Javin, Rusk, and the Black Furies across trackless, pirate-infested seas into the ancient heart of Fartha, the religion-steeped land of prophets and priest-kings. Using stealth, guile, and sheer audacity, the Furies fling themselves into the teeth of the serpent, trying to snatch Bella back before she is swallowed forever. Javin finds himself torn between his genteel, noble upbringing and the raw, brutal necessity of what he must do to save her life. And after all of their trials, neither Javin nor Bella will ever be the same. Bold, colorful characters pull the reader into an unforgettable adventure with the perfect mix of suspense, intrigue, and action. Jeanne Cavelos, author of The Passing of the Techno-mages Rogues of the Black Fury mixes a berserk action thriller sharp as a mercenary s sword with hard-bitten fantasy so gritty it might scour your bones clean by the time you re done.
