God. Blood. Suffering.
One man's determination is the only thing standing between the galaxy and total annihilation.
Johnathan Altross is a freak of nature—a 'fadeskin' blemish on the record of the supposedly infallible Messiah Kings. He is a man with an unknowable past, loathed by the very empire that created him. Yet, inexplicably, Babylon needs him.
When Altross is summoned to a gore-filled celebration in Victory Hall, he fears his execution may finally be at hand. Instead, he is handed a death sentence of a different kind: an impossible trek across the stars.
Thrust into the heart of an ancient conflict, Altross is tasked by God Himself to undo the sins of the past. Enslaved to a sadistic regime and beset by a nightmare existence, he must face a harrowing choice: spill his own blood—and the blood of those he loves—or watch the Covenant fail.
As darkness descends upon the galaxy, Altross must strive for the salvation of mankind. But in a universe defined by death, can he conquer all he has suffered and find the true meaning of his existence?
About the Author
Ronan Stahl is the author of ‘The Blood of One Man’s Trial.’ He’s a bit older now than he used to be, but he could never fully rid himself of the ache born into every young man’s fingers to grasp upon the hilt of a sword. For all those who nod to this, he dedicated some scribbles in ink, in the hope that the adventure meant something and will never truly die.
