Irenicon (The Wave Trilogy, #1)
by
by
A fascinating reshaping of late medieval Europe undergoing a very different Renaissance in a world where Christianity developed very differently after Herod managed to kill the Infant Jesus.
Mary is worshipped in stead and a world is very different without the selfless sacrifice of Jesus.
Rasenna is the setting of much of the story and the factions and infighting have resulted in their conquering by another powerful town turned Empire, Concordia. The book centres on the reshaping of Rasenna following the arrival of an engineer from Concordia, where engineers have displaced the ruling class.
The Book was a little hard to get my head around at the start with the level of detail but it was worth the effort. The story, politics and reimagined world is fascinating
and the plot gains a great pace.
Not for those who'll take offence to altering Christianity but a fascinating fantasy novel from a great imagination.
