Beneath the Mire (Demon Slayer Rome Book 1)

Andreas kills demons. The one inside him makes sure of it.Cursed with the Deathchaser—a demon bound to his soul—Andreas walks the blood-soaked line between hunter and monster. In an Empire where demons serve Rome and Christians burn on crosses, he's neither savior nor saint. He's a weapon pointed at the darkness.Until his mentor Emidius is accused of the unthinkable: consorting with the very demons he trained Andreas to destroy.It's a setup. Andreas knows it. But proving Emidius's innocence means facing a demon whose hatred has simmered since before Rome was an empire—and whose power could shatter what's left of Andreas's fragile faith.With Lucia, Emidius's fiercely loyal daughter, at his side, Andreas plunges into a web of heresy, ancient evil, and betrayals that reach into the highest echelons of both Heaven and Hades.In a world where faith is a death sentence and demons walk as conquerors, redemption comes with a body count.Beneath the Mire—where sword and sorcery meets the brutal edge of early Christianity.For readers who devoured The Witcher, Berserk, and Vampire Hunter D.
