Forged Verbatim — Lee Allred

To save the Holy Land, a lie must become the truth.

Legends tell that during the Crusades the Knights Templar found the Crucifixion Hammer. Legends also tell of a thief who stole the Hammer and used its power to work dark magicks. Now award-winning author Lee Allred (DC Comics, Baen Books, Asimov's) gives us the true story of what befell the Hammer: a tale of duty and honor, lies and truth, redemption and sacrifice.

Lee Allred's award-winning short fiction has appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction magazine and several science fiction anthologies. He's also written for DC Comics and Image Comics.
