An Unexpected Deity — Jeffrey Quyle

When Kestrel is chosen by the gods to carry out dangerous and difficult duties once again, he finds that unexpected happenings will add to the challenges he faces. He knows that he will have to take another long journey to restore the water skin to its place above the lake in the southern mountains. The skin provides the necessary protection that prevents the Viathins from ravaging the lands of the Inner Seas, and Kestrel is the logical choice to restore it. But in addition, he is told to go beyond the boundaries of the world, to find the missing deities who have been lured and kidnapped by Ashcrayss, the god of the Viathins, and set the deities free, including his own father, the absent parent he's never known.

Dangerous as that challenge is, an unexpected natural disaster cuts Kestrel off from the forces he has marshalled for the quest, and left him stranded in dire circumstances, where doing the right thing will have disastrous consequences in the mountains south of Uniontown, and in the strange land beyond.

Follow Kestrel, Wren, Stillwater, and their companions as they fight their way along a perilous journey, and make contact with an unexpected deity!
