An imperial mission. A kingdom on the brink. A captain carrying the weight of a name both feared and despised.

Captain Ben Stiger never asked for this assignment—transport a chest of imperial gold and a letter from the emperor across the sea to a volatile foreign kingdom and secure a vital alliance, or at least buy their neutrality. But duty is rarely a matter of choice. With only the enigmatic elven ranger Eli at his side, Stiger sets sail for the Kingdom of Thresh.

What begins as a diplomatic errand soon spirals into something far more deadly and dangerous. The kingdom is a tinderbox of political rivalries, old grudges, and whispered betrayals. Stiger must navigate threats both seen and unseen—all while wrestling with the legacy of a family name stained by rebellion.

The Fires of Thresh continues the acclaimed Tales of the Seventh series with a gripping blend of military action, political intrigue, and richly layered world-building. Marc Alan Edelheit delivers an epic tale of honor, resilience, and sacrifice as Stiger walks the fine line between soldier and statesman—where one wrong move could ignite a war.

Perfect for fans of:

• Roman-inspired military fantasy
• Character-driven epic sagas
• Gritty politics, divine mysteries, and reluctant heroes
• Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Glen Cook

The fate of an empire may rest in the hands of a disgraced captain. But first, he must survive Thresh.
At long last, the eagerly awaited fourth installment of Tales of the Seventh is here!
