About this title

From the Author:

This is the conclusion to the Hel's Crucible Duology.
This is the conclusion to the Hel's Crucible duology. Along with book 1, Into the Forge, it tells the story of the Great War of the Ban as seen through the eyes of two "ordinary" Warrows, Tipperton Thistledown and Beau Darby, caught up in a struggle not of their making, two common soldiers (if there is such a thing as a "common" soldier) in a raging conflict against the forces who would crush freedom in the name of their evil god Gyphon. In book 1, Tipperton and Beau set out to deliver a mysterious and seemingly worthless pewter coin to someone or something named Agron. Along the way they faced terrible peril and death, yet they also made fast friends with an assortment of folk, Humans, Baeron, Elves, and Dwarves among them, as well as a squad of Warrows. At the end of book 1, they had yet to deliver the mysterious coin to Agron, and when we left our two intrepid heroes, they took up the journey once again.

In this book, Into the Fire, book 2 ! of the Hel's Crucible duology, we follow Tipperton and Beau on into the dreadful dangers awaiting them as Destiny draws them into Hel's Crucible itself.

In spite of the barrage of requests, it took me several years to get around to telling this story, but here it is at last. I do hope you find this journey into Mithgar to your liking, in spite of the perilous trek within.
