The Homunculus Knight
C47/100Web serial by jayfiction99
Bringing rest to the unquiet dead is not an easy task. It requires compassion, wisdom, patience, strength of arms, and suicidal courage — qualities Paladin Cole, a warrior sworn to the god of death, possesses in full. Surviving beneath the shadow of undeath takes a different set of virtues: intelligence, caution, determination, and the occasional moment of extreme daring. Natalie Striga, a barmaid raised under the vampires' boot in the mountain town of Glockmire, knows these truths well. When Cole arrives tasked with putting the undead to rest, events push him and Natalie together as hidden schemes among the vampire nobility threaten to boil over into disaster. As they unravel a series of mysteries, Natalie slowly realizes there is much more to the world than Glockmire — and much more to Cole than meets the eye.
