As vicious marauders claw at the dry-rotted gates of a fragmented Polish Kingdom, the orphan Isa barely escapes with humanity's most precious secrets in hand. He travels to neighboring Hungary and its King, Bela IV, for help. But this dark horde is not just a band of Steppe raiders, and the Hungarian Kingdom, along with all of Europe, faces a historic test.
It's 1241, and it is a dark and pestilent time. After several failed Crusades, Christianity is gasping for breath. During this time of weakness, evil amasses the world's most fearsome army on Europe's border. Their goal? To spread their empire to the Atlantic in search of the secrets of immortality. In this long shadow stands the young Isa and his satchel full of secrets. Will Isa be able to unite the Christian world for their salvation, or is his destiny to shake its very foundations?

The Slaying of the Bull is book 1 of the upcoming Tocharian Gospels Series. This collection will follow Isa as he carves his path through history on a crusade to tear humanity from the grip of darkness and bring us back to the light.
