Baptism of Lies

After being brutally beaten and falsely convicted of assaulting an officer in the corrupt city of Ironwood, Elias Vane is offered a devil’s bargain: infiltrate the apocalyptic cult “The Sanctuary of Final Grace” and expose its homicidal leader, or spend life in prison. Inside the compound, Elias discovers that survival demands a mask of fanatical devotion—every prayer a lie, every smile a confession. As Father Silas prepares his flock for the ultimate “baptism of purification”—a mass suicide—Elias, the only sane soul among the believers, races against time. The truth of his identity is a luxury that would see him executed long before the poison flows. For a man living a lie to save lives, one wrong word turns redemption into a suicide note.
