Soul Catchers

It has been one and a half thousand years since Jesus came down from the cross, rained blood on Jerusalem—of his enemies and pagans—and conquered the Roman Empire. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Not peace, but a sword.

Fate directs God’s servant Mordimer Madderdin, an inquisitor of His Eminence, Bishop Hesz-heszron, to the imperial capital, where he will end up right in the thick of political intrigues. He will visit the castle of a magnate accused of performing demonic rituals and take part in a crusade of the Most High Lord against heretics. He will meet a girl with tattooed signs of a serpent and a dove, and escort her to the court of a baron-vampire—who was a witness to the crucifixion of Jesus.

How will Mordimer act when the greatest secret of Christian faith is revealed to him?
