Rotbloom

A mute farrier carrying a grieving sword and a newborn girl crosses a continent consumed by living rot—and something about the child makes flowers bloom in dead earth. Hedrek Stolz never asked to be chosen by a holy weapon, never wanted to be anything more than ordinary. But the Riven are spreading, the last walled city may already have fallen, and the only person willing to guide him through the wasteland has her own deadly secrets. In a broken world feeding on human anguish, the smallest life may hold the key to reclaiming what was lost.
