Truth's Facade

When upcoming college freshman Elias Averill leaves behind the familiarity of his family, he does so with the hope of finding new beginnings and a taste of freedom unlike that which he's experienced before. He craves adventure, a new world to bring forth the elements within that wouldn't otherwise exist. But what awaits him is something far more generous.

Not long after his arrival, unnerving phenomena start to awaken around him--echoes of another's life tied to constituents of the unknown desperately call out his name. The world he once held dearly soon reveals itself as a dark and harboring reality that's been eerily patient. As the voices grow louder and the shadows creep closer, Elias violently learns that he is the last descendant of a sacred bloodline, a heritage bound to the power of manipulating life's energy. And as the truth is regretfully unveiled, Elias is meant for another journey, beholding another name.

Hunted by false faces, Elias finds mysterious allies from beyond the ordinary world he grew up in--a land of ancient divinity, home to a people who have been waiting for his arrival. Here, amid ethereal forces and inherited responsibility, he must confront not only the supernatural enemies seeking his life but the darkness lurking within.

Searching for the lost foundation upon which he stands, Elias's path becomes a crucible of profound self-discovery, one that will force him to develop the resilience necessary to withstand harsh realities, endure loss, and embrace acceptance. Discover what it's like to be reforged in the first installment of this epic tale as our protagonist embarks on an unyielding pursuit of truth.
