Kristina M Barbee: The Fallout of Fallacy, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

When your kingdom is built on lies, it is destined to burn.

In a kingdom where legends of dragonriders conquering the lands are taught as history and libraries were burned by past kings, the truth will be just as dangerous as any sword.

That is, if anyone could untangle the lies intertwined with the truth and stay allied long enough to live.

Centuries ago, war tore the countries of Victarius apart and reforged them into six united kingdoms under one throne and one church.

Penance, prosperity, and forgiveness were offered during this rebirth, so long as the people remained united and obeyed their Divine Destinies- life paths designed by the stars they were born under and a holy calling that would save the kingdom from collapsing ever again.

But peace and civility can only last so long. And lies cannot be hidden forever.

In the night, High Scholars and Royal Advisors have met their end through blade and blood and citizens have grown timorous as the deaths continue with answers unsatisfactory to their anxious minds.

Rumors begin to spread about the truth of the Six Kingdom's history and who is behind the slayings; whispered tales of the king himself and vindictive rebels alike sharing in the slaughter. A once obedient and loyal people now stand in streets and pub rooms openly questioning what they have been assured of by the very government that swore to protect and serve them.

A government that benefits greatly from its people remaining obedient to the beliefs the church and state sold as truth when the continent was on the edge of collapse and their power on the brink of falling apart.

Now face-to-face with the truth of the fallacies they had grown in comfort with for generations, leaders throughout the Six Kingdoms must form alliances, settle differences, and take action to fight for justice, or for power.
