Description
In a post-apocalyptic world where tyranny and medieval torture reign supreme and witch burnings are an everyday occurrence, a top Witchfinder must confront the very Church he serves when he learns of its dark past and twisted plans for the future.
With the Fifth Order in complete control of the Church of the Deiparous, Malachi Thorne and his friends must find “the Flame,” a powerful weapon which may be the only chance they have of halting the evil of the Crimson Fathers. As they navigate the Tex’ahn lands and work with the resistance, Thorne discovers a devastating secret that may destroy them all and everything they have worked for.
This is book two of The Deiparian Saga (book one, The Witchfinder)

Aaron S, Reviewer
Malachi Thorne in this second novel continues a great storyline.
Unusual creatures, a little romance, and a healthy dose of post apocalyptic story that's both interesting and twisty turny.
On a mission to find the flame, an ultimate weapon, this story culminates in a satisfying semi-conclusion.
Enjoyed this book, read if uou like epic fantasy.
