Scion of assassins Jude Oliver seeks to end his evil family's reign of terror in this "delightful Catholicism-infused quest fantasy" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Jude Oliver hails from a long line of assassins. But he rebels against their treachery by escaping with their secret weapon, The Silver—an ancient artifact of catastrophically evil powers. His quest is to find another artifact powerful enough to destroy The Silver before it destroys the world. His unlikely companion is Mike Engle, and Iraq war vet turned Catholic priest.
On their journey, they clash with evil in many forms—from Norse Gods to a Valkyrie and Mephistopheles himself. Jude discovers the power of love and friendship while Mike learns the disturbing truth about Jude's family: a shocking secret that reaches back two thousand years. But will these revelations be enough to save Jude from his family and his destiny?
