Anvils & Avatars - Don Jones

With the prejudice and ill-will of past conflicts behind him, the gentle ogre blacksmith Warren has finally found the peaceful, quiet life he's always craved in the cozy environs of North Pointe Common Towne. But a blacksmith's work is never truly done, and Warren's "Forge Dreams"-haunting visions that demand he create things he doesn't understand-are back in full force. This time, they are calling for the crafting of a bizarre, twisted sword and an unruly, dangerous crown from a unique and stubborn ore that refuses to cooperate.

As a slew of mysterious strangers begins to trickle into town and a new, unsettling omen appears on the horizon, the townsfolk of North Pointe-and the world they thought they knew-are about to discover that maintaining peace can be just as perilous as winning a war.

Return to the beloved world of "Pubs & Pegasi" with this warm, witty, and surprisingly dangerous new adventure. A journey of quiet courage, unexpected magic, and the enduring bonds of community, "Anvils & Avatars" reminds us that even the most ordinary lives can hold the greatest of wonders.
