The Last Witch Hunter
The world can sometimes feel black and foreboding. Especially if you’ve ever found yourself lost at night on a strange city street: flinching at every clattering sound or faint hiss emanating from dirty, shadowed alleyways. As you clutch your coat and pick up the pace, your mind can’t help but imagine what might be hidden in those dark places.
The man named Kaulder doesn’t need to imagine it. He knows what’s hidden there. He’s had 800 years to find out. Eight centuries to watch cities form, grow, wither and decay.
This solemn figure knows the wickedness of men’s hearts. And he knows the hearts of those in the shadows who are not men, too. Those unnatural enemies with magic in their blood.
Kaulder is a witch hunter. The last of his kind.
His evil-battling quest began long, long ago when he was but a wee mortal soul. Then he was just an unnerved man, clutching a sword and climbing with his compatriots into the den of the Witch Queen. They swore to fall as one if that’s what it took to stem her wickedness.
Like the others in his group, Kaulder had already lost beloved family members to this magical scourge called witchcraft. He sees his dead wife and child nearly every time he closes his eyes. So he’s determined not to waver. He’s locked in his desire to kill or die.
Kaulder did not die that night. In fact, as he drove his flaming blade into the witch’s chest, he was actually given life. More of it than he’d ever wanted. With her last rancid breath, the wretched witch cursed Kaulder with eternal life. While everyone else would succumb to time’s passage, Kaulder would live on. Alone.
All these centuries later, the lonely warrior still follows his calling. He’s served by a Dolan, a priest in the Order of the Axe + Cross, who chronicles his work and cares for his needs. Truthfully, though, Kaulder is now less fevered than he was in the past. He’s more concerned with keeping a fragile peace between the worlds of men and witches than he is determined to wage war against the darkness.
But war is certainly coming.
When Kaulder’s 36th Dolan is attacked by dark magic—powerful spells that the witch hunter hasn’t seen used in eons—he knows that something truly evil is again raising its hoary head. Something this powerful hasn’t been seen since … well, since the days of the Witch Queen.
Again, even for Kaulder, the world feels black and foreboding.
