Book Description:
""We were fighting a typical religious war until the goat-men arrived.""
For eight years war raged between the armies of King Traden of Garmundland, convert to the Church of the Holy Family, and those united with the Holy Church of Nasir, the one true god. Victory was in the Nasirians' grasp as they lay siege to the pagan city of Silverwic. The cannon were in place to begin the final assault.
That's when the Sarbarah, a race of slavers, entered the war. The "goat-men," who once enslaved the human race for thousands of years, threatened to reconquer the lands they had lost.
"A Curse upon the Saints" tells the story of a bitter religious conflict from perspectives of characters on both sides. Renwick, a corrupt cardinal whose ambitions lead him to forge an alliance with the Sarbarah. Nurik, Renwick's protege, forced to choose between loyalty to his mentor and the greater good. Marisol, a young Nasirian priestess whose faith is unravelled when she learns of the scope of her church's corruption. Frederich, a solicitor and amateur musician enslaved by the Sarbarah, who must use his wits to survive long enough to escape. Leoda, Frederich's wife and priestess of the Holy Family, whose use of magic indentures her to the service of a cruel prince.
Can the faithful of both religions not only make peace, but also unite in the face of this new threat to humanity?
