Description
Two hundred and seventy-seven years after the fires of Ash Wednesday, the past has been raptured. The future is a song of struggle.
In the ruins of an empire, the Church of Revision has erected the walls of a new Zion. Here, history is a sin and the "Holy Faith" is the only law. Under the iron gaze of the Worshipful Church, the Holy Fyrd marches into the Svartheim Desert and beyond to cleanse their Holy Dominions of the zealous cult that stands in the way of sanctified progress.
J.R. St. Michael delivers a visceral grimdark speculative fiction debut that subverts modern socio-political realities into a terrifying theocratic dystopia shattered by centuries of war. Inside the First Book of Knowing: A Brutal Military Journey: Follow Reverend Cole and his Recruits as they navigate the tormenting realities of war in this dystopian man vs. man vs. nature narrative. Theological Horror: Witness the "Redeemers" and the ritualistic "recompense" that defines a society obsessed with purity and divine justice. A World of Chaotic Beauty: Explore a landscape where life kills life, and the "song of survival" is played out from the shifting sands of the Svartheim Desert to the haunting forests of Napahai. As the sun sets over the vast expanse of the Napahai Canyon, the sapphire flame of the Aschekrieger burns bright upon the ashes of these elite warriors and Reverend Cole must now come to terms with his haunting past failures.
