#1 in The Dark Apostle

England in the fourteenth hundred years: a land of poverty and opulence, prayer and plague… witchcraft and necromancy. As a child, Elisha witnessed the burning up of a witch outside of London, and saw her transformed into an angel at this time of her loss of life, though all around him denied this eyesight. He swore that the next time he might possess the chance to bind an angel’s wounds, he’d be ready. Therefore he became a barber-surgeon, at the lowest ranks from the medical career, about Elisha Barber following just healer’s path open to a peasant’s boy. Elisha is proficient at his function, but skill alone cannot protect him. In a single catastrophic day, Elisha’s attempt to deliver his brother’s kid leaves his family members ruined, and Elisha himself accused of murder. Then a haughty physician offers him a means out: serve as a battle surgeon in an unjust battle. Between tending to the wounded troops and safeguarding them from the physicians’ experiments, Elisha works night and day. Even so, he soon discovers that he has an affinity for magic, drawn into the globe of sorcery by Brigit, a beautiful young witch…who reminds him uncannily of the angel he saw burn. In the crucible of fight, utterly at the mercy of his capricious superiors, Elisha must attempt to unravel conspiracies both marvelous and mundane, aswell as comprehend his own troubling new abilities. But the only things more threatening than the queries he’s asking will be the answers he may reveal.
