Folded Steel

The third and final volume of The Forge.

Nothing worth having ever comes easy. It's become a mantra of J. J. Moore's life. The man might not be able to see, but he definitely has a vision. It's all about making his dream a reality and the pieces are coming together.

He chose Sonya to be his Field Team Leader. She is deaf but the team already has workarounds in place to address that issue. While he keeps his actual ability a secret, he is able to administer the training for the team and Calamari is born! She takes to leading the forming team as they begin dealing justice to those who consider themselves above the law.

However, J. J. is forced to acknowledge and deal with his past and his affiliation with The Arsenal. Touching upon depths and definitions that frighten even the blind assassin, he must find a way to balance his dedication to the ways his teacher has imparted on him while fine-tuning his own creations, the Shadow Guardians.

The Blind Smith revealed J. J. Moore as we saw him lose his sight and gain his ability. Muted Rage revealed the origins of his team. Folded Steel takes us even further into the shadow world as the heated ingot is folded and pounded flat, only to be folded again. The reason for the fold is to strengthen the steel. But if the technique is applied in error, the metal might break.

Step inside The Forge... try not to mind the heat!
