Heroes and Traitors
It’s a victory that damns him.
General Yonnis has led the rebel army of the Doctrine of Truth to power after a bloody civil war. But the final victory is poisoned—by his own vengeance, by visions of being claimed by the enemy’s god of war. He tells himself he can now build a lasting peace in fractured Kimalloa. In the ruins of revolution, he discovers that delusion, suspicion, and betrayal are harder enemies than any he faced on the battlefield.
His reluctant new wife cannot reconcile her dreams with reality. An old friend seethes with resentment. Veterans feel betrayed. The country’s spymaster is losing control. Each sees the truth differently. Each has their own story to tell.
Rich and poor, plotters and spies, idealists and cynics—through shifting perspectives and tangled loyalties, all are discovering what revolution truly costs. This is a tale of power, compromise, and the lies we tell ourselves about virtue.
The Doctrine of Truth promised to remake Kimalloa. Is the rebels’ promise beyond saving?
