Faith can save a kingdom. Faith can also break it.
At eighteen years old, Ada has finally earned the gray robes of a Cleric's Apprentice. Raised within the quiet stone walls of Grimwald's Keep, she has spent her life preparing to heal the sick, comfort the broken, and serve God's Light.
Her first assignment shatters every expectation.
Instead of serving beneath a noble priest, Ada is placed under the command of Sir Isaac De Moreau-the infamous Red Knight. A legendary paladin feared across the realm as The Butcher, Isaac is a man burdened by war, haunted by impossible choices, and whispered about in every tavern from the capital to the frontier.
Their mission seems simple: investigate the brutal ritual murder of a village priest in the isolated town of Hemsworth.
But the deeper they travel into the forgotten countryside, the more the kingdom begins to unravel.
Villagers vanish without a trace.
Ancient churches hide terrible secrets.
Children disappear in the night.
Something old has awakened beneath the earth.
As Ada's unwavering faith collides with Isaac's hard-earned cynicism, the unlikely pair uncover a conspiracy far older than the Hand of God itself-one capable of changing the fate of the kingdom forever.
To survive, Ada must learn that monsters do not always wear horns... and even the holiest hands can become bruised.
Perfect for readers who enjoy The Witcher, Dark Souls, The First Law, and The Name of the Wind, Ada: A Cleric's Apprentice - The Last Confession is the first adventure in an epic dark fantasy saga of faith, sacrifice, mystery, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness.
