Category: The Stygian Blades

In a realm protected by the Sacred Shroud of the Flayed God, three religious factions wage theological war. Master Edmund Whitmore chronicles the bitter schism tearing his kingdom apart in my novel The Stygian Blades: the ancient Panverics who bow to a foreign Patriarch, the Crown-loyal Reformists who broke from tradition, and the radical Simplefellows who reject all ceremony. Each claims true faith in Kahdishor Shald’s martyrdom, yet their disputes over authority, ritual, and the mystical consumption of sacred flesh threaten not just souls, but the very stability of the throne. When belief becomes sedition, can any doctrine unite a divided people?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
