Lords of Order and Chaos

Murder. Betrayal. Magic? One knight takes up his hammer to hunt a killer concealed. When dark arts and faith face off, will sorcery or swordsmanship win out? What chance can a mere mortal have against vampires and demonic forces? Is King’s Inquisitor Dunewell prepared to break the laws he has sworn to serve to discover and defeat a master of shrouded evil? Where is the line between hero and villain, saint and sinner?

Dunewell, sentenced to discharge his next mission in the company of a harsh, battle-worn companion, must find his way in a world where the system he once vowed to protect has betrayed him. Can a man change his life, himself, after a life in service to a Code he is only now coming to truly understand? Is there a future for him if he fails the secret brotherhood, the Sword Bearers?

Dunewell, seeking the path that embodies both his oaths and his conscience, is pursued by honest and just men across the wilds of Stratvs. Moving as both predator and prey, he and Jonas track the legendary vampire Lord Slythorne. Will their uneasy alliance hold long enough to destroy the monster before it’s too late? Slythorne has enthralled many, honest and devious alike. Can Dunewell evade his pursuers without spilling innocent blood? Wearing the mark of an outlaw, what other allies will the Lord of Order be forced to trust?

Dunewell and Jonas pursue the last villain on Jonas's list...a Shadow Blade.
