“My strength is the Emperor and His Holy Writ.”

“Aren't you pious for one who is so green at the sight of the Order?”

“The Emperor is divine. The Order are just men. You don't fault a whole faith just because some of its agents take to brigandage. My faith kept me through the war, and it hasn't failed me after.”

In a world where any act of magic could open a portal to hell, the Order insures that no wizard will live to summon devils, and will kill as many innocent people as they must to prevent that greater horror. After witnessing a horrendous slaughter, the village girl Heloise opposes the Order, and risks bringing their wrath down on herself, her family, and her village.
