We must Resurrect the Vampire Witch.

Overall
Of God and of Sacrilege is a great little trilogy that does not hold back on the epic scale of warfare, lust and some surprising double crossings and death that would see in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. While it is small scale on the publishing side, it does not lack in ambition. These are a great and fun trilogy to read.

“There is nothing to be sorry for. Showing weakness is no sin, it will only make you stronger. I do not know what we can do, but I do know that while we can fight, while we can stand, every piece of dog filth that lives will fear us.”
– Matthew Thomas, Resurrection of the Vampire Witch
