Heretic

It is one hundred years after the Black Death and with Europe still in ruins Aiden Selwyns parents are forced to give him up. Arriving at an isolated monastery the Abbot takes him in. But all is not as it seems and after reaching adulthood Aiden discovers their true intentions. No longer able to accept his obligation to God he meets Aelianna a beautiful woman living in the woods. Upon suspecting her to be a practitioner of the black arts he suspends his judgment long enough to fall in love with her. But the evil he has discovered to be inherent in people finds them out testing his strength and his love for Aelianna. Heretic is a story of resolve and transformation; that even the most misguided can be reborn with a new sense of purpose.
