Books like The Beating Of His Wings by Paul Hoffman (English Writer)
Paul Hoffman's final fantasy novel concludes the trilogy that began with "The Left Hand of God" and "The Last Four Things." Thomas Cale, a ruthless assassin whose military training was engineered by the Church, has hunted himself as the institution that forged him into an Angel of Death seeks to eliminate him. Cale is a paradoxical figure—both arrogant and innocent, generous and pitiless—who has used his skills to dismantle the mighty institutions that once protected humanity. As his soul wanes and convulsions take hold, Cale realizes that judgment is inevitable. In the days leading up to the final reckoning, he returns to the Heart of Darkness—The Sanctuary—to confront the one he despises most.
