It is one hundred years after the Black Death and with Europe still in ruins, Aiden Selwyn's parents are forced to give him up. Arriving at an isolated monastery, the Abbot takes him in. But all is not as it seems, and after reaching adulthood Aiden discovers their true intentions.
No longer able to accept his obligation to God, he meets Aelianna, a beautiful woman living in the woods. Upon suspecting her to be a practitioner of the black arts, he suspends his judgment long enough to fall in love with her. But the evil he has discovered to be inherent in people finds them out, testing his strength and his love for Aelianna. Heretic is a story of resolve and transformation; that even the most misguided can be reborn with a new sense of purpose.
Clifford Beck
A native of Upstate New York, Clifford Beck received the bulk of his education at the State University of New York at Albany. His writing began with experiments in poetry, inspired by ancient literature. Later, he attended Southern Maine Technical College, earning a degree in New Media. His work is largely an exploration into human darkness and the dynamics of madness. Having a background in design and illustration, he also creates the cover art for his novels.
Now a resident of Portland, Maine, he tends to write what speaks to him the loudest, occasionally relying on music for inspiration. But, ideas have always come to him during the most unlikely of situations, and is always with pen and pad at the ready. During the course of his life, he has been seen as someone in possession of a rather peculiar personality, but has come to accept this as a commonality among writers in general and an expression of what makes the mind of a writer tick.
