Fantasy
To the warrior-monks known as the Redeemers, who rule over
massive armies of child slaves, “the last four things”
represent the
culmination of a faithful life. Death. Judgment. Heaven.
Hell. The
last four things represent eternal bliss—or endless destruction,
permanent chaos, and infinite pain. Perhaps nowhere are the competing ideas of heaven and hell
exhibited more clearly than in the dark and tormented soul of
Thomas Cale. Betrayed by his beloved but still marked by a
child’s
innocence, possessed of a remarkable aptitude for violence but
capable of extreme tenderness, Cale will lead the Redeemers into
a battle for nothing less than the fate of the human race. And
though his broken heart foretells the bloody trail he will leave
in pursuit of a personal peace he can never achieve, a glimmer
of hope remains. The question even Cale can’t answer: When
it comes time to decide the fate of the world, to ensure the
extermination of humankind or to spare it, what will he
choose? To
express God’s will on the edge of his sword, or to forgive
his fellow
man—and himself?
