The Sanctuary of the Redeemers is a desolate place - a place where hope & joy aren't welcome. Most of its occupants have been brought here as young boys, against any will they might have had. One boy watches the latest arrivals. He doesn't remember anything of his former life or know anything of his future. Meet the Angel of Death.
The epic story of Thomas Cale-introduced so memorably in "The Left Hand of God"--continues as the Redeemers use his prodigious gifts to further their sacred goal: the extinction of humankind and the end of the world. 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. Judgement. 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 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?
In the final installment of the epic Cale and the Sanctuary of Redeemers series, Thomas Cale grapples with a harrowing truth: his brutal training was designed to annihilate humanity, deemed God's greatest mistake. Hunted by Pope Redeemer Bosco, the man who transformed him into the Angel of Death, Cale embodies a complex paradox—arrogant yet innocent, generous yet pitiless. Having already toppled a powerful civilization using his extraordinary destructive abilities, he now faces a personal crisis; his soul is deteriorating, and his body is failing him. As the day of reckoning approaches, Cale's thirst for vengeance drives him back to the Sanctuary, where he confronts his greatest enemy. He must come to terms with being the embodiment of divine wrath and make a pivotal choice: to oppose the Sanctuary of the Redeemers or unleash his devastating powers upon the world. The fate of humanity hinges on his decision. This conclusion to the trilogy promises a gripping blend of epic heroism and moral complexity, appealing to fans of heroic fiction. Paul Hoffman, acclaimed for his previous works, delivers a thrilling narrative that captivates from the first chapter to the last.
