Vane is only trying to make ends meet as a poor mountain hunter and get back to his wife in time for winter festival. Until his special catch leads him deep into the struggle he's been evading all his life. Now any action he takes, or doesn't, can affect an entire world, and may mean the end of his own.
Crucible of Heaven, the Black Book
UPDATE: As different parts of Crucible approach final publication I have opted to unpublish older drafts of various sections. Please stay tuned to much more excitement to come!
