The Divine Refusal

About this book

In a world powered by divine favor, Kaelen the smith has none. His refusal to kneel to a patron god brands him an outcast, but the village’s scorn soon curdles into terror. When divine retribution rains down, Kaelen’s unbelief becomes their only salvation. As the village elder’s apprentice, he must forge a solution where faith has failed, using the very hands the gods refused to bless. Book three of *The Forge: Edge Cases* delivers a standalone story about defying fate in a world that demands worship. Can a godless man save the pious? The answer will reshape everything they thought they knew about power.
