Heretic

Lost in Legend Book One

by R. Roderick Rowe

1100 years into our future, in a culture where ear buds are constantly fed the latest government sludge, one man is asked to venture into a wilderness. A wilderness where technology is anathema, and where he must learn to think his own thoughts again. It's the year 3115,and Priest-Applicant Justice Preston is sent to the ancient home of the Jamari to research his life and deeds. It seems straight forward until... A church gone rogue. An unexpected discovery of Fae. A murderous bishop.

His boyfriend and guide introduces him to the people known as the Tuatha De Cernon. Stagmen. Fauns. Satyrs. Pixies, dryads, nymphs and others. These people have come through a portal opened by the legendary Jamari a thousand years before. They've been living amongst us in secret for all this time.

And he discovers ancient memoirs written by the Sophia Shaman, boon companion to the Jamari. In her own words he finds proof the Church of Jamari has been subverting the teachings of the legend they claim to follow. Any rumor of this discovery will bring the inquisition and the enforcer priests into his life in dangerous and deadly ways.

He can turn the fragile relics over to the church knowing they'll never be seen again. Or, he can find a way to make them public and become HERETIC.
