Blog Tour - Beyond Redemption by Michael Fletcher
Beyond Redemption
Author: Michael R. Fletcher
Publisher: Harper Voyager Impulse
Genre: Fantasy
Format: Kindle/Paperback
Book Description:
Faith shapes the landscape, defines the laws of physics, and makes a mockery of truth. Common knowledge isn't an axiom, it's a force of nature. What the masses believe is. But insanity is a weapon, conviction a shield. Delusions give birth to foul new gods.
Violent and dark, the world is filled with the Geisteskranken—men and women whose delusions manifest, twisting reality. High Priest Konig seeks to create order from chaos. He defines the beliefs of his followers, leading their faith to one end: a young boy, Morgen, must Ascend to become a god. A god they can control.
But there are many who would see this would-be-god in their thrall, including the High Priest’s own Doppels, and a Slaver no one can resist. Three reprobates—The Greatest Swordsman in the World, a murderous Kleptic, and possibly the only sane man left—have their own nefarious plans for the young god.
As these forces converge on the boy, there’s one more obstacle: time is running out. When one's delusions become more powerful, they become harder to control. The fate of the Geisteskranken is to inevitably find oneself in the Afterdeath. The question, then, is:
Who will rule there?

Book Description:
Magic is fraught
with peril—but so is love.
Lord Fenimore
Trent’s uncanny affinity for knives and other sharp blades led to duels and
murderous brawls until he found a safe, peaceful outlet by opening a furniture
shop—an unacceptable occupation for a man of noble birth. Now Fen’s business
partner has been accused of treason. In order to root out the real traitor, he
may have to resort to the violent use of his blades once again.
Once upon a
time, Andromeda Gibbons believed in magic. That belief faded after her mother’s
death and vanished completely when Lord Fenimore, the man she loved, spurned
her. Five years later, Andromeda has molded herself into a perfect—and
perfectly unhappy—lady.
When she
overhears her haughty betrothed plotting treason, she flees into the London
night—to Fen, the one man she knows she can trust. But taking refuge with him
leads to far more than preventing treason.

Taking a chance on the words of a local grocer, Katie stumbles upon a rare breed of dogs raised by the town doctor and his nephew Kyle. The only problem?
