The path to faith is fraught with peril,
-None escape its call.
But truth is found at each steep edge,
Whether they rise,
Or if they fall.
Jined Brazstein-Paladin of the Hammer, protector of mankind, murderer-joins the Prima Pater as he leaves the confines of the father monastery to visit his holdings across the usually peaceful Northern Scapes. Yet continual miscommunication, rising tension between nations, and a dark sect seeking to bring the order down from within, puts everyone in jeopardy. But Jined's god calls him to a path that will test and strengthen his faith, even while the Order seems to crumble around him.
Deeper Faith is Book Two in the sprawling Epic Fantasy series the Kallattian Cycle by Andrew D Meredith - a story of gods, their chosen champions, and dark figures bent on freeing the mortal realms from a fate established by greater beings.
All would be heroes must give their lives,
or made sample of folly.
Example to those who've yet still to come,
Through doomed cycle,
Or fated legacy
