The Carnelian Flame (Exalted 6)

Power of Righteousness

Staked out in a marsh under the noonday sun, Grendis Lam could think of no worse way to die. Yet, the sun showed mercy, imbuing him with power and a mandate to walk the path of righteousness. Now, allying with the wandering sorceress Arianna, this former mercenary must stop a mad, despotic sorcerer intent on plunging the Hundred Kingdoms into the Underworld one by one.

Exalted: The Carnelian Flame is the sixth in an unlimited series of novels based on the hugely successful Exalted property.
