Light and Shadow

An ancient bloodline, reawakened. This day is the same as the last, and the one before. I rise, I train, I suppress the evil that lurks, watching small snowflakes litter the mountainside through the cave’s mouth I call home. They melt into meaningless death, whatever their uniqueness, discarded-as if they never existed. Soon the sun will peer over the surrounding peaks in cool light. There’s no warmth here. No, not anymore. Tomorrow will be the same. Until I finally melt away, and the world is better for it. In a monastery, deep in the mountains, a child arrives one night, hunted, tormented by a dark spirit. Adopted into the Brotherhood, Saul must learn mastery of body and mind in service of the Light. Time rolls on. Darkness sweeps across the land, and as Saul will discover, not all monsters are external forces. A sister novel to Vengeance.
