The Turning City

Brother Tod Pottersfield had a quiet, peaceful life as a lowly priest of the Black Church. Humble and pious, he had no desire to rise beyond his station nor to experience adventures.

But when a gang of temple raiders use him to loot the Church of valuable and dangerous artifacts, Tod is forced to go on a quest to recover them – a quest that grows more desperate by the day as the artifacts begin to spawn hideous monsters, dark powers, and hordes of undead!

Along the way, Tod discovers strength and mysterious powers within himself, the burgeoning love of an attractive female thief, and the friendship of an unlikely magical outcast. Together the three of them set out to save the mysterious mechanical planet Gyre from certain – and terrible – destruction!

A darkly humorous fantasy adventure about Love, Death, Magic, and Mechanical Energy, GyreWorld has been described as "Tolkien blended with Pratchett in a mystic and mechanical world."
