He was sent to save lives.
He learned how easily they are taken.
A Benedictine Monk, burdened by what he has done and what he has failed to prevent is drawn into a world where power is secured by violence and truth is buried beneath it.
In a fractured empire, healing is not enough
His debut series follows a reluctant monk whose skill at healing draws him into the machinery of empire, where knowledge, faith, and violence are never far apart. McKie is drawn to the overlooked edges of history—the lives and moments that shaped events but were seldom recorded—and the uneasy truth that doing what is right is rarely without cost.
