This collection of poetry presents an interwoven and epic tapestry of romance, religion, and philosophy in a world of true fantasy. In the first part of the book, the protagonist Heretic searches for his kindred spirit, but paradoxically discovers God has forbidden their predestined love. Come, look at the world through his eyes, feel his heart's pain, and try to understand the workings of his mind. Will the Heretic ever find peace? The second section of the book is a small collection of heartfelt poems, taken from various influences in the author's life, along with a few teasers from what may be the second installment of the Heretic's epic. Journey with the poet through these pages into another world, perhaps a world not so different from your own.
