The Saints Of The Sword

Author: Marco, John
1332 Eastern Europe: The worlds of God, Goddess and Satan collide in this epic tale of love, revenge and forgiveness.Two years ago Nicolai's life as he knew it ceased to exist. On that one horrific day his wife was murdered and his daughter abducted and he's been on the hunt ever since.But the baggage he carries is heavy— guilt. Guilt of not being there when he was needed most. Guilt of believing he wasn't the husband and father he should have been haunts his every waking moment but above all else he's determined to rescue his daughter from the ruthless clutches of the vampire known as Lord Valnar and destroy him to avenge his wife's death. Kaira is also on the hunt. Barmaid by necessity and hunter by choice she too has been injured by these blood thirsty beasts. Kaira and her companion, Gustav, have been destroying Valnar's legion of undead for years, but at a high cost—her heart. She's already seen to many of her comrades fall prey to Valnar's men and she's vowed not to let her heart get in her way again. Gustav, the Preacher, has a much different goal. For him it's neither revenge nor lost love. His only goal and pleasure in life is to hear the faint utterance of the word “free” as a soul is released when a vampire is destroyed. Together, Nicolai, Kaira and Gustav join forces toward one common goal—destroying Valnar. After rescuing the witch, Jessica, she joins the group but finds herself at odds with Gustav and his Christian beliefs. Nevertheless they band together to destroy Valnar, but all hell breaks loose when Nicolai hears whispers on the wind warning him of betrayal and he begins to doubt everything and everyone around him. Even though he is surrounded by his friends and lover he feels alone. Will he be betrayed by his lover, the preacher, the witch, the mercenary or his own heart?
