Cale is fourteen and his life so far has not been one to envy. Brought to the Redeemers' Sanctuary as just a toddler, he's lived within its militant religious fanaticism for all the years he can remember. Beaten, brutalised and half-starved, Cale and his fellow acolytes are being raised to fight an ongoing and bloody war against heretics. Cale is of special interest to Bosco, a Redeemer Lord Militant, and we soon realise why. Cale is intelligent, ruthless, quick, and has the ability to kill without remorse. He is an asset.

They might also enjoy [[Silverhorse by Lene Kaaberbol]], a stunningly well-told thriller-fantasy with role reversal, a strong female lead character and some interesting questions about the nature of power. [[Bad Faith by Gillian Philip]] is a blend of love story, political thriller and murder mystery in this dystopian future book about religious fundamentalism.
