In a world where darkness lurks beneath the surface, the Bishops stand guard.

Some warriors are born. Others are chosen. Chris never asked to be either.

As a member of the mysterious Bishops, an ancient supernatural sect, Chris walks the razor's edge between duty and recklessness. Whether he's cliff diving or confronting enhanced wrestlers in back alleys, he can't escape the weight of his calling. But when the Tainted-powerful supernatural beings-launch a bold daylight assault on the Bishops' stronghold in New Orleans, Chris is thrust into a war that's been brewing for centuries.

With his loyal friend John at his side and his relationship with Marie hanging by a thread, Chris must confront an enemy that grows stronger by the day. His only hope may lie with the Heretic, a legendary figure whose very existence is denied by the High Council. But seeking the Heretic's aid comes at a terrible price-one that could cost Chris everything he holds dear.

As the bodies pile up and betrayals cut deep, Chris discovers that in a war between good and evil, the battlelines aren't always clear. And sometimes the greatest enemies are the ones we create ourselves.

Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher and Cassandra Clare, HERETIC delivers a pulse-pounding supernatural thriller where faith, power, and loyalty collide. In this high-stakes game of cat and mouse, even the hunters can become the hunted.
