#Saint of Steel

[tkingfisher]

Is this a pre-order I see before me?!

It is! Coming December 5th, the fourth of the Saint of Steel books!

You can pre-order now wherever fine ebooks are sold*, and paperback orders are available from Argyll Productions! And Patreon patrons get it free, probably a few hours before midnight my time on the 4th.

This is Shane and Marguerite’s book, and it’s a chonker at 130k. There may even be a few more tidbits about the death of the god, in amid the adventure, romance, demons, and semi-accidental destabilization of the world economy!

*UK readers, you may have some glitches—OrbitUK is taking over the distribution there and we’re still ironing out transferring territorial rights—if the pre-order gets canceled, just re-order, it’s not you, it’s not even me, it’s the vast machinery of international commerce. But you also will get a snazzy paperback printing of all four books next year, which will not require ruinous shipping to the UK!

Good evening, I just spent two hours on a World of the White Rat "what religious order do you belong in" quiz.

[silverskye13]

Complete derailment of the rest of my morning, but the phrase:

"They love you. They will not love you less for being whole."

Followed up by:

"It was a hard thing to admit that a noble sacrifice wouldn't do any good."

Just. Knocks me out every god damn time. Man. [Laying on the floor] Just. Man.

“What if she kills you, boss?”

“Then either avenge me or put her in charge.”

I’m reading the T. Kingfisher Paladin series and it’s so good, I’m tearing through them. Just started the fourth book really hoping that Marguerite was gonna end up with Wren. Tragically the narrative immediately latched onto Shane, and it’s another straight couple. Wren deserves love too, boo.

“My god, man, great love poems aren’t written about how lovers get eight hours of sleep a night and no one steals the covers."

books i read in 2024: Paladin’s Grace by T. Kingfisher

…people didn’t take you seriously as a warrior when you were knitting. He’d never figured out why. Making socks required four or five double-ended bone needles, and while they weren’t very large, you could probably jam one into someone’s eye if you really wanted to... And god forbid the tide rose and he went berserk. You never got the knitting untangled after that…

His idea of talking dirty might be 'I respect you enormously as a person. Let us pray.' -T Kingfisher, Paladin's Faith

[firstofficerrose]

Stephen: I kissed a girl...

Istvahn: Nice! Not a sin.

Stephen: and then I think I hurt her feelings...

Istvahn: Not nice, but also not inherently a sin.

Stephen: And then she stepped on a severed head

Istvahn: I'm going to need you to start over

Bishop Beartongue is destabilising the economy of an entire continent.

And it's not the main plot.

It's just.

[noah-luck-easterly]

I’m only two books into T. Kingfisher’s Saint of Steel series and I think the Temple of the White Rat might be my favorite fictional religious order ever.

Their mandate seems to be just “do good,” lowercase g.

Feed the hungry. Tend the sick. House the homeless.

Temple lawyers to help with civil and criminal problems.

"You’re a paladin.” Marguerite patted his arm. “Physical privation is practically one of your hobbies.”

Wren laughed. “We’re not that bad. I mean, it’s not like we enjoy bad food and dumping ice cold water over our heads at dawn. It just works out that way sometimes.”

“I enjoy hot baths,” said Shane. “And…err…food…”

Both women looked at him. Wren shook her head sorrowfully. “Poor bastard wouldn’t know a spice if it drew steel on him,” she murmured to Marguerite.

“It’s probably not his fault. Raised wrong, I expect.”

“I use pepper,” muttered Shane, stung. “And salt.”

He looked up into identical expressions of pity and decided to stare out the window instead.

PLEASE HELP HIM

I suppose with the new T. Kingfisher paladin book out, it’s time to remind everyone that I released a dungeon synth album a few months ago inspired by the World of the White Rat books including the paladin series, the clocktaur wars, and swordheart.

Not only that, but now it is available on kick ass limited gold cassettes.

There’s only a few left, you can find them at my Bandcamp here: https://raccoonfink.bandcamp.com/album/beyond-an-age-of-wonder

This is one of my favorite things I’ve ever done and I’m super happy with how it turned out. I hope you’ll check it out and enjoy listening as much as I did making it.
