Paul Hoffman's novel of astonishing scope and imagination,
featuring a darkly gifted teenage boy at the center of a
brutal holy war, grabs the reader from its incredible
opening lines and refuses to let go. The Left Hand of
God is the first novel in an epic, ambitious trilogy
that will prove irresistible to the readers who have turned
the Inheritance Cycle, Twilight, and the His Dark
Materials series into publishing phenomena.
The Left Hand of God is the story of sixteen-year-old
Thomas Cale, who has grown up imprisoned at the Sanctuary of
the Redeemers, a fortress run by a secretive sect of warrior
monks in a distant, dystopian past. He is one of thousands
of boys who train all day in hand-to-hand combat, in
preparation for a holy war that only the High Priests know
is now imminent. He has no reason to think he's special, no
idea there's another world outside the compound's walls, and
no hope for a life any different from the one he already
knows.
And then, Cale opens a door.
What
follows is a daring escape, an unlikely alliance, a
desperate pursuit, a journey of incredible discovery, and an
adventure the likes of which Cale could never possibly have
imagined, culminating in Cale's astonishing realization that
he alone has the power to save his world- or to destroy it.
