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.
A unique and complex tale that’s been wonderfully crafted. Past tangles with future in an edge of ur seat dystopian thriller 🙂
Christians shouldn’t read this book (the end will upset them). Everyone else should open its pages & get caught up in Reliquary’s world
Everything from Angels to Armageddon mashed up in a dystopian feast of cult and conspiracy. A dash of humour too. Well worth a read
I love Dystopian books and this one doesn’t disappoint. Turbo charged characters and a plot that may upset some people.
Read this cos the cover was cool. Much longer than most books I read and a lot of back and forth. But being fair, it is v well written
