The left hand of God

SUMMARY: 'Listen. The Sanctuary of the Redeemers on Shotover Scarp is named after a damned lie for there is no redemption that goes on there and less sanctuary.' The Sanctuary of the Redeemers is a desolate place - a place where hope and joy are not welcome. Most of its occupants were taken there as young boys, against any will they might have once had. They cower under the terrifying regime of the Lord Redeemers, whose cruelty and violence have one singular purpose - to serve in the name of the Hanged Redeemer.No one knows their way around all of the Sanctuary, so vast and twisting is its maze of corridors - corridors filled with the stench of centuries-old religious fervour.Standing in one of these corridors is a boy, looking out of a dark window, looking out at the latest unfortunate arrivals to this hell. He is perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old - he is not sure, and neither is anyone else. He has long forgotten his real name, but now they call him Cale. He doesn't remember anything of his former life. He doesn't know anything of his future life . . .Meet the Angel of Death.
