The woman’s voice became a whisper. “There’s treasure up there, or so it is rumoured.”
Julian said nothing for a moment. Then, he spoke quietly. “I have heard no rumours of ... treasure. Can I put my hands down?”
“No. Take it from me, the rumours are persistent. It’s quite some situation, isn’t it? The monks accrue wealth on high, while down here the children are forced to collect shit from the gutters to sell to the tanners just to survive. No one cares. The Senate doesn’t care and the Brotherhood of Ulfur doesn’t care. Archbishop Courtenay is coming to save souls, but it’s a pretence because the church is so wrapped up in its own politics that nothing ever changes. No one can save the children from their despair, no one.”
Julian smirked. “Except you?”
A weighted silence followed Julian’s comment. Then, the woman said, “Careful, monk.
Mocking a woman with a knife to your throat is never a good idea.”
Fires of Atonement is a gripping fantasy of devotion, deception, and the high cost of absolution. For fans of epic worldbuilding, dark secrets, and slow-burning suspense.
