A vampire that works for the Vatican... Marcus Victor Amfortas is a vampire with a problem. After an innocent girl sacrificed herself for him, he can not give in to his thirst. He can no longer bring himself to feed on humans. Secluding himself was not enough - he has an overwhelming need to make amends for his existence and the evil he has done. The Vatican has a problem. It must protect the innocent from hundreds of tainted artifacts in its possession. These relics are each corrupted by evil and the acts of mankind. As a result, they are craved by the living horrors that must possess them. Worse still, the artifacts themselves offer seductions to the most pious of holy men. An uneasy alliance was formed: Keep the artifacts sequestered, and the Vatican itself will give Marcus absolution upon his death. Now, a hundred years later, a cynical and sarcastic Marcus keeps his vow sacred. He is fighting to keep his most vile artifact from a powerful wizard, fighting to keep his "life" from a vengeful demon, and fighting for his only chance at redemption through this new, politically conscious church. "Debut author Chad Bednar has crafted a sublime supernatural thriller-- a clash of underworld and overworld, of the sacred and the profane, fought out on our earthly battlefield by richly drawn characters amid superb action." -Earl Merkel, author of; Virgins and Martyrs, Dirty Fire, Final Epidemic, etc. The Left Hand Of God is the first in the Keeper Of The Sins series. This book serves up; humor, zombies, magic, car chases, wizards, the mysteries of the church, and a bad guy you can't help but root for. But at its heart, it's about a man who has been through hell and is searching for his faith. If you like Jim Butcher, Dean Koontz, or Stephen King, you'll love Keeper Of The Sins; The Left Hand Of God.
