"With my own hands, I took his life. By my own choices, I murdered my brother.” Such were the thoughts of Merrin, a slave who wanted nothing but to be left alone. Yet, he finds himself drenched in the blood of men, as people chant and gather around his feet. God, they call him. The promised sun, they pray. sunBringer, they hope.
