BLUE FIRE, A Jirel of Joiry tale by Molly Tanzer

Nov 122026
 

Cover for BLUE FIRE by Molly Tanzer. Cover features three figures upon a background of blue flame. The foremost, Jirel, is a woman clad in a mail coat. She looks like she's been wading through war's wreckage— her boots are reddened nearly to the knee, her drawn sword is scarlet, the red trimmed hem of her coat is redder. Her hair is flame-red, glowing. To her left is a tall woman wearing a purple coat, decorated with X's and O's. Underneath the coat she wears a spare set of metallic undergarments. To Jirel's left is a roguish sort of woman. She bears a complicated looking dagger in her left hand, brandished towards the viewer.In BLUE FIRE, Jirel finds herself fighting a foe her greatsword cannot smite and her faith cannot heal: a terrible illness no priest or doctor can explain. In order to find a remedy, Jirel must ally herself with an old foe, an old friend, and a new individual who is neither friend nor foe…yet. From medieval France to the Low Countries to lands found on no map of earth, Jirel will push herself to the limit as she hunts down a cure as mysterious as the disease itself…
