ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Who kills the executioner? That's the dizzying question at the heart of this novel. Abismo is a cruel god, ruling over life and death with merciless whim. Under his command works Misericordia Dagger--a methodical, unyielding executioner who has never questioned his duty. Until now. His loyalty is shaken when he falls in love with the granddaughter of his next target. This novel is a striking parody of our turbulent times, reflecting the madness of authoritarian, irrational, and criminal rulers. A tragicomedy of universal resonance, it stages a theater of recurring eras of terror--signs, perhaps, of ultimate chaos or the birth of a new world. Our protagonist, a headsman with disarmingly human traits, narrates his own ordeals in a voice that channels the energy of a graphic novel. The result: a bold, genre-defying tale that inaugurates a new literary form--brutal noir--blending history and myth, reality and delirium. Misericordia Dagger is an unforgettable figure, locked in a deadly dance with his adolescent apprentice, the volatile and hyperviolent Prince Blood. He wishes to pass on his deadly craft--and his beloved blade, as sharp as hunger and as unpredictable as a woman. Branded into his back is the legendary image of the enigmatic Acephale. "Do not summon Acephale. He will come only when he wishes. He will appear, and we shall believe."
