8K by Julian M. Miles

The Blessed Order of the Bloodied Rose Cross split from the Knights Templar with the intention of saving humanity from the monsters that stalk the fringes of this world.

For centuries, they have fought those monsters. That war has turned most of them into zealots. Many would argue they have become more monstrous than the things they hunt.
 
The Rosenkreutz, as they call themselves now, disagree. In fact, they have just invented something that will purge the world of monsters forever.

They think they know all about the monsters. Which is where they went wrong.

8K: No heroes, but one hell of a story.
