Once again, one of my favorite authors, David Liss, wrote a very amazing piece of work called The Day of Atonement and I wanted to elaborate on it because the ending makes me wonder if this will be a first book in a saga or at the very elast a sequel is to follow soon? I hope so, and if not I would deifnitely read this one again!
I've finished reading the series on Benjamin Weaver, and this book is connected to that heroin. So when I heard about it I kenw I would love it. I went out and bought it and didn't put it down the second I picked it up and read the first page.
Sebastião Raposa is only thirteen when his parents are unjustly imprisoned, never to be seen again, and he is forced to flee Portugal lest he too fall victim to the Inquisition. But ten years in exile only serve to whet his appetite for vengeance. Returning at last to Lisbon, in the guise of English businessman Sebastian Foxx, he is no longer a frightened boy but a dangerous man tormented by violent impulses. Haunted by the specter of all he has lost—including his exquisite first love—Foxx is determined to right old wrongs by punishing an unforgivable enemy with unrelenting fury.
Well schooled by his benefactor, the notorious bounty hunter Benjamin Weaver, in the use of wits, fists, and a variety of weapons, Foxx stalks the ruthless Inquisitor priest Pedro Azinheiro. But in a city ruled by terror and treachery, where money and information can buy power and trump any law, no enemy should be underestimated and no ally can be trusted. Having risked everything, and once again under the watchful eye of the Inquisition, Foxx finds his plans unraveling as he becomes drawn into the struggles of old friends—and new enemies—none of whom, like Lisbon itself, are what they seem.
Compelled to play a game of deception and greed, Sebastian Foxx will find himself befriended, betrayed, tempted by desire, and tormented by personal turmoil. And when a twist of fate turns his carefully laid plans to chaos, he will be forced to choose between surrendering to bloodlust or serving the cause of mercy.
If you love historical fiction, the Benjamin Weaver series, or David Liss novels in particualr, then I highly recommend this one to you!
You can get your copy in either kindle, hardcover or softcover HERE. So grab a big mug of coffee (or tea) or a big glass of wine and snuggle up under a big fluffy duvet and down blanket and enjoy! ;)
