Blood Brothers

The Cathedral of the Goddess looms over the city of Bonnehampton, casting its shadow across the land. Within the cathedral, faithful clerics command divine powers to heal, to purify, and to punish.

When the clerics take an old man hostage, issuing charges of witchcraft and insurrection, three young friends vow to save him. Their backgrounds are diverse--a social pariah raised in isolation; an oppressed, nonhuman boy living in the city slums; a savage mystic rejected by his forest tribe--but their cause will make them brothers.

This i**s a complete, stand-alone novel with no cliffhanger ending.
