After Jerusalem's fall in AD 70, information about the First Heresy is discreetly disseminated. It reaches Hypatia of Alexandria, the last great pagan philosopher, and is smuggled out of Egypt by her slave companion on the day of her murder. Centuries later, clues to the First Heresy are uncovered in Ireland, revealing themselves to a Norman youth and retired Templar Knight. Meanwhile, in Paris, a scholar of Persian descent, connected to the Knights Templar, becomes embroiled in the unfolding events.

The First Heresy is so explosive that it has the potential to undermine the foundations of the Roman Church and the secular power structures of Europe. It ignites a medieval chase across France and Ireland as a small group, led by a scholar, is relentlessly pursued by the forces of the French King. They are faced with the truth about Christ and the nature of man, while the Order itself is targeted by the Iron King, who believes he is an agent of God.

The First Heresy, the debut novel from financial commentator and TV presenter Eddie Hobbs, seamlessly blends historical research with fiction and mysticism to create a captivating, fast-paced thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
