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.
Nice prose. Good characters. Unearthing the past whilst avoiding imminent death. Crept into the supanatural which I liked
I’ll felt as if I were climbing inside this book every time I opened the pages. A world with a difference and beautifully written
A snowball of a book that smashes at the end.
dystopian world with a paranormal twist. Kat and Scout took me through it with ease. A book with a good start, middle, and end
Scout and Kat, what a combo. It’s a dystopian world with a surprise. Nicely written story. A lot of book for no money, they’re the best.
