Heresy

Aquasilva is a world of ocean and violent weather, where the priests of Ranthas, the Fire-God, wield total spiritual authority. Cathan is set to inherit leadership of his clan, Lepidor, but he would rather spend his days studying the sea than governing. He has accepted the faith he was raised in without a second thought, and politics holds no appeal for him.

A rich iron find forces Cathan to journey to the clan congress and tell his father the news. There he glimpses how far the Domain will go to gain complete control, and how badly the official account of the world has been bent. His understanding of what is true begins to crack.

He is sent to a heretic stronghold at the far edge of the rebellious Archipelago to be trained. There he hears a different story of Aquasilva's past and connects with dissidents from every corner of the world. Yet his abilities and the allies he has gathered may not be enough once the Domain turns its attention to Lepidor.
