Oaths of Blood by Logan D. Irons
Jerusalem, 1099. The armies of Christendom have marched across the known world to claim the Holy City — and mercenary captain Robert Cutnose is in the belly of a siege tower when the walls finally fall. But what waits inside Jerusalem is far more terrifying than arrows and spears.
Attacked in the savage dark, Cutnose wakes with his throat torn out and something ancient crawling through his veins. He is no longer simply a soldier for hire. He is a pawn in the Noctis Bellum — an immortal war older than the Crusades itself — fought between a secret Order and the creatures they call the Hunted, over a relic of power neither side will surrender.
To reclaim his humanity, Cutnose must hunt down the man who turned him. With a secretive band of warriors at his side and enemies on every front, he crawls deeper into the shadows of a world he never knew existed — where the line between monster and man is razor thin, and loyalty is paid for in blood.
Gray heroes. Savage treachery. Valor and betrayal in equal measure.
Oaths of Blood is grimdark historical fantasy in the tradition of Joe Abercrombie, Bernard Cornwell, and John Gwynne — action-packed, brutal, and impossible to put down.
Only oaths made in blood survive.
