The Bishop's War
Aphelion Press
In the shadow of a crumbling Roman Empire, a gentle bishop unearths an ancient crystalline artifact that promises godlike power or eternal damnation. Nicholas of Myra, a towering figure scarred by Diocletian's tortures and missing two fingers from brutal persecution, has dedicated his life to faith and mercy. But as barbarian hordes and slavers ravage the innocent amid civilization's death throes, endless suffering tests his soul.
Bonding with the mysterious relic from a lost Precursor world, Nicholas transforms from peaceful shepherd to unstoppable warrior, his wounds unhealing, his humanity fraying. Freed Gothic warrior Anya, axe-wielding avenger mourning her slaughtered daughters, becomes his fierce companion and moral anchor. Fragile orphan Helena embodies the fragile hope he fights to preserve.
Yet a shadowy rival, the calculating Merchant, a fallen senator wielding his own artifact, sees divine mandate to enslave and conquer, building an empire from the ashes. As raiders pillage, empires shatter, and forbidden knowledge reveals the artifact's merciless judgment, Nicholas grapples with a corrupting power that elevates him beyond human limits.
One man's sacrifice could birth a legend... or unleash a monster. In a world devouring its young, what price will a saint pay to defy the dark?
