Reliquary by Kris Brooker
A theocratic Commission rules. Patron rules absolute. The people believe they are protected by Saints, and that their city alone survived Armageddon.
When a Duma crime-boss tasks Scout to track down a stolen Relic, what he omits to mention is the Commission want it too, and they’ll kill anyone who stands in their way.
Find the thief, find the relic. Find a heretic, Kat, who’s as dangerous as she is beautiful. Scout puts them both in the crosshairs of a state sanctioned assassin. Their survival now depends on finding the relic.
It’s an uneasy alliance, through a black market in forbidden history into an underworld of religious sects, to find they’ve stumbled upon an ancient prophecy, and into a heretical coup.
All sides desire the relic. Understanding it’s purpose will reshape the future of Mankind.
Good book that anyone can enjoy
Bombshell finale that the Tracker and the Thief could not have foreseen. A mixed bag of thrills and spills that is well worth a read
I found the spirit of this book to be inspirational (unlike others) A surprise ending to a fascinating trip through a truly dystopian world
I was disapointed when I cam to the end of what until then was a decent novel. As an avid reader I won’t spoil but it is divisive
Never been a better time to be alive, if this is what comes next? Spirit of the dead meet an angry angel, and a crazed assassin. Loved it
