Description
THOU SHAT NOT SUFFER A WITCH — OR WARLOCK — TO LIVE! Beyond science and sorcery, time and space, the enemies of peace once again come to the lost colony planet Gramarye. Their mission: to tempt the clergy with visions of power, and lead them in war against the throne to establish a theocracy. The Abbot of the Monastery of St. Vidicon has promoted himself to Archbishop, separated the Church of Gramarye from the Roman Catholic Church, and appointed himself — not the Pope — as head of the church. Anyone who disagrees, up to and including the Queen, is labeled a heretic and excommunicated. The peasants and nobility of Gramarye, not sure who to believe and fearing for their souls, slowly choose sides as armies gather and the shadow of civil war looms over the kingdom. It’s up to the High Warlock Rod Gallowglass and his family to find some way to avert the coming battle before the first blood is shed — if they’re not burned at the stake for heresy first!
