Description
The renegade assassin Grayshade has brought his companions and his quest for answers—or vengeance—to the heart of the Order of Argoth, in the grand city of Tellisar. Neither Grayshade nor the Order will rest until the other is vanquished … no matter the cost.
And Grayshade is not alone. As he walks the markets, the districts, and the rooftops of the city, allies and enemies of unexpected origins reveal themselves, seeking to help or hinder him. Grayshade has seen enough of death. But can his determination to forge a new future, for himself and those he cares for, save him from the failures of his past?
Heretic is a novel of discovered love and ultimate sacrifice, a story about whether we can rise from the shadows into the light.
Reviews:
“Wilson wraps up his fabulous The Gray Assassin Trilogy in the best possible way in Heretic. There’s all the action and wondrous magic you’d expect but so much more. The theme of redemption, of owning your past to build a better future, is front and centre, especially for Grayshade himself, lending a depth and compassion to this story rarely found in sword and sorcery. I loved it. You will. Highly recommended.” — Julie E. Czerneda, Hall of Fame author of the Night’s Edge series from DAW Books
