Description
The Left Hand of God by Paul Hoffman is set in a vast and desolate place known as the Sanctuary of the Redeemers. This bleak environment has been home to its occupants for years, who have endured brutal regime under the Lord Redeemer's rule. A young boy, Thomas Cale, has lost his real name and now lives among them, but he is not like the others. He is strange, secretive, witty, charming, violent, and bloody-minded. Thomas's life takes a dramatic turn when he witnesses an act of unimaginable cruelty, forcing him to escape across the arid Scablands towards Memphis, a city that represents everything the Sanctuary does not: beautiful, Godless, and corrupt. However, his only hope of survival is to evade capture by those who want him back, driven by secrets they believe he holds. The Left Hand of God is the first instalment in a gripping trilogy that combines elements of fantasy, suspense, and dark themes.
