About
What if the Creed—recited by millions across centuries—was born from a lie?
AD 325. The Council of Nicaea.
Constantine demands unity. Bishops scheme for power. Truth is… negotiable.
Archelaus, a scribe with a talent for survival and a flair for deceit, is tasked with recording the words that will define God for an empire.
Behind closed doors, there is no divine consensus.
Only threats, bargains, and bloodless coercion.
And ink remembers everything.
As factions clash and a forbidden connection threatens to undo him, Archelaus faces an unthinkable choice: preserve the truth and die for it… or rewrite it and shape the faith of generations to come.
The Last Heretic is a razor-edged historical thriller for readers of Circe and I, Claudius.
One man holds the quill.
And history will believe him.

SteveG writes from a lakeside cottage in Costa Rica, where the mangoes are ripe, the Wi-Fi is unreliable, and the stories arrive whether he invites them or not.
His work blends flash-fiction velocity with myth, memory, and quiet structural mischief. He is the author of Elba Kramer, The Last Heretic, and Dear Dairy, and is currently at work on the mythorealist novel The True Virgin.
He prefers prime numbers, perfect squares, and stories that hide things in plain sight.
