Kiln Beast

Invading a swamp is foul, bloody business. With her company decimated, the only survivors remaining under Kataryna’s command are the downtrodden and the delusional, and even if she makes is through the invasion in one piece, the Inquestors are sure to execute her in the Velakov’s name for her failures.But death would mean leaving her wife, Sofia, all alone.Kataryna turns her mind to her immediate concern - the defenders of the swamp. They will use the terrain against her; arrows will flicker from the mangroves into Fatherlander flesh, grasping hands will rise from waters and drag them under.And there are some among the defenders that will not hesitate to use any weapon, no matter how terrible. Kurasu leads Rūku to find and lure a Kiln Beast into battle.But such beasts have no masters.
