Uproar and Heresy - Paperback

by A. P. Andes (Author)

Praise for Volume I, John the Angelic

"Andes shines in the first volume of this ninth-century historical literary fiction quartet, The Latecoming West, based on the early medieval life of Pope Joan. . . . History buffs-particularly those enamored of Pope Joan-will devour this impeccably researched and skillfully written tale."

--BookLife

Is history a timeline of events or a carefully crafted narrative wielded by those in power? A.P. Andes' genre-bending quartet The Latecoming West weaves multiple storylines across the millennia in pursuit of the answer. In Volume II, Uproar and Heresy, the brilliant, willful Joan, disguised as a man, shadows the most sovereign position in the religious world. Her gift for scholarship fuels her rise at Lorsch Abbey. But Joan's true identity looms over every success. Meanwhile, in 1930s Berlin, star-crossed Polish Jews Rahel Buchwald and Patek Mroz meet amid Hitler's rise to power as the new order draws them nearer apocalypse. Electrically inventive, Uproar and Heresy brings fierce visionaries and long-silenced demons to life.
