Annorlunda Enterprises brings to us Lagoonfire by Francesca Forrest, now available! Read on for details and a GIVEAWAY!
Lagoonfire is a fantasy novella (162 pages) and is the second book in the Tales of the Polity series, but can also be read as a standalone. It is set in a world in which Gods can retire, and a government agency exists to assist in their decommissioning:
Decommissioner Thirty-Seven returns in the second book in the Tales of the Polity series and finds that the past can be a difficult thing to escape…
Decommissioner Thirty-Seven is not the most conventional decommissioner at the Ministry of Divinities, but she takes her role of helping fading gods to retire seriously—and feels bad when things go wrong. Take the decommissioning of Laloran-morna, former god of warm ocean waves: she botched that, somehow, and now he spurts saltwater when upset. When seawater invades a development project in Laloran-morna’s old haunts, suspicion naturally falls on him. But is the retired god the source of the problem? Or is it the work of a mortal saboteur? Searching for the answer to these questions brings Thirty-Seven face-to-face with a past she’d rather forget.
This evocative and ultimately uplifting story is sure to please – Publishers Weekly
