"The themes of the novel are religion, heresy and the definition of right and wrong," says author Joel Martin. "I was inspired to write Inquisitor because I wanted to see a fresh take on a tired fantasy genre seemingly much tied down by an overdose of magic and the erroneous suggestion that more dwarves, elves, or dragons are good for a fantasy book. I believe the thing that sets Inquisitor apart is its connection to reality even within a fantasy world. Its latter-period setting, not adhering to the typical medieval time, also distinguishes it. The dark, gritty, blood, sweat, and tears approach is one I felt very strongly about." An epic adventure, Inquisitor delves into the deeper motivations of seemingly simple characters. "It is all about the grey," says Martin, "and shows that the world is rarely black and white."Sinister, violent, and gritty, this highly original story has many touches of black humour, and will keep fans of fantasy fiction riveted until the very last page.
