Deacon Aurelius was brought to life with the whisper of a being that untold billions called god. He sowed death amongst the stars in the name of life until he was dispatched to a world that's ancient name meant "center of." There he will face a race born of a land that nature could not have made, torn asunder by acquiescence and defiance in the name of an empire that may or may not exist. It is there that he will begin to question the very nature of his existence. Set in the distant future Heretic Rising portrays a time where the vast majority of mankind is held in thrall by a powerful theocracy that seeks to gather the lost worlds of men unto itself. An alien world, covered with relics of ages past, stands on the edge of known space refusing to fall.
