Tyrian Jeffrey Blackmer

Atrox guards the most expensive substance on Earth, more precious than gold. The Pope's harlot demands the papacy find the secret to this dye of Kings and power. In a chance meeting the Tyrian guard defects from Tyre to Rome, stealing the secret and earning himself the coveted title of Pius Interficientis, the Holy Slayer. He's paid handsomely in gold, has more power with the Pope than all of the cardinals put together, and leaves in his wake thousands of dead targets. He's the assassin, answerable only to the Pope and his God. In a twist of fate he is bribed with hundreds of years on his life, virtually immortal and unable to die in battle. This is his journey as the witness and bringer of doom to inquisitions, massacres, crusades, witch hunts, disposing of heretics and those guilty of apostasy, the persecution of Cathars, Protestants, Muslims, Saracens, Jews, the sacking and destruction of entire villages and cities in the name of Christianity. This is the original game of thrones, the power struggle between Popes and Kings based on actual events. This Tyrian quest exposes the secrets and diabolical machinations of our rulers. The Papacy has ruled minds, homes, hearts, armies, nobility and continents. What's their oldest and darkest secret? This humble servant discovers it. Do not challenge this dynasty. Do not question their motives. Be blind in your faith! To do otherwise will end in your torture and early demise. This is horrific, brutal, and true. The currency is death, the purse is power, and a blood sacrifice will be expected. Fans of The Borgias, The Medici, Game of Thrones, and Joan of Arc will love this novel.
