Blood and Oath: The Healer’s Curse

In the holy city of Sanctum Virel, miracles are not gifts: they are laws.To heal, there must be balance.To save a life… another must be taken.Kael Verin is a healer bound by the most forbidden law of all. Every life he saves demands a death by his own hand. In a city where unauthorized killing is heresy punishable by execution, Kael walks a blade’s edge: performing miracles in secret while burying the bodies they require.But Sanctum Virel watches everything.An enforcer who sees too much.A hunter who needs no divine power to kill.A priest who understands Kael’s curse: and wants to use it.As the bodies begin to form a pattern, Kael is forced deeper into a system that feeds on suffering, where faith is control, and mercy is indistinguishable from murder.And in a world where every life has a cost:Kael must decide who is worth paying it.
