A ship drifts on an endless sea, its deck crowded with strangers all waking to the harrowing quandary: Who brought them here, and why? Grouping by language, they turn on one another until they break into the cabin and find a sleeping man with a groomed beard.Craft of the Heretic plunges you into a richly crafted alternate Renaissance that weaves fantasy with gripping mystery and philosophical depth. As the enigma of the lost ship unravels, you’ll discover a world unlike any other where the church holds dominion over science, with monasteries forging miraculous wares: tacksilver, a mercurial pathfinder for the holy island of Pharus; blastsalt, a crystalline explosive that charges steam-belching weapons; and handy snapcandles. Jason Blackmore s debut novel pulses with a masterful blend of thrilling adventure, political scheming, and witty banter that will captivate readers who appreciate original world-building and thought-provoking suspense.
