In the wake of war, only ash remains

The Crucible of Pain is the thrilling third volume in Coltrane Seesequasis’s epic A Wolf in the Sun tetralogy.

The Forgotten Ones are the humans who ruled the world before the beasts took over. They have returned to conquer the land once more. After enacting vengeance on the wolves of the Four Territories, they embark on a long journey south where they hope to unearth the secrets of uncontested dominance. Silversong can’t let this happen. With his companion Frostpaw, he leaves his pack behind to hunt down the leader of the Forgotten Ones. Their pursuit takes them beyond the Northlands and into a region ravaged by constant strife, and as Silversong trades blows with the Forgotten Ones and recruits unexpected allies to the cause, he becomes further and further entrenched on the bloody path to war. If you’ve followed the series so far, you’ll now Coltrane delivers edge-of-your-seat excitement, rousing heroism, villains who think they’re the heroes (the best kind!), detailed world-building, and compelling character development. If not—you can start any time!
