Blade & BLOOD

"THOMAS"

A kind but tortured soul; a killer of killers; a redeemer. Raised by his mother, HECATE—an angry and vindictive woman, left emotionally scarred after being scorned by a debaucherous husband during her pregnancy. Her wrath for men was turned upon her son, using ritualistic cutting and verbal abuse to strip him of his dignity and self worth until he became hardly more than an empty shell. Taught that his sole purpose for existence was to protect her from the evils of the outside world, THOMAS endured years of sadistic and brutal training to ensure that he became an unparalleled physical specimen, and a deadly weapon in his own right. When HECATE dies unexpectedly, however, THOMAS is forced out into the unknown—having no true understanding of the world around him and no means to become a part of it, he wanders the nights a pariah…until he encounters SASHA. Exploiting his need for guidance, she takes him under her wing and uses his physical gifts for her own purposes. Manipulated into becoming a murderer, each death takes a heavy toll on him as he desperately tries to cling to the only shred of humanity he has left. But after the seventh killing, he has reached a breaking point, and can no longer bear the guilt of his own horrific actions.
