A MONK of GOD IN REALMS OF SWORD AND SORCERY? THIS BOOK CRAFTED BY A PRIEST OVER MANY YEARS IS DOWNRIGHT EPIC TELLING, ESPECIALLY FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES PHILOSOPHY, THEOLOGY, or CLASSICS, The ANCIENT CHURCH, or MEDIEVAL IMAGINATION. The monks raised Jacob to defend the Monastery of Whitehammer with a quarterstaff. Now coming of age, he wants to find out about living in the outer world. Having escaped to the wilderness, a group of elf-blooded mountaineers, "the valraphs," capture him. They speak of something in the north, and an ancient evil, a powerful Banelord, Nimrul, aka "Professor Naza" seducing the kingdoms. Jacob returns, a prodigal, but has a message: only repentance of the monks can deliver the kingdoms. Accused of Sorcery, he must prove his innocence, he and his companions go against the Dire of Melancholy!
