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?
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
This is a most enjoyable historical fantasy about a military hero with a quest for peace. The author has created a fascinating world against the backdrop of everyday life in somewhere like mid-17th century Europe, mirroring the political and religious conflicts of that time. The story is full of intrigue and treachery with romance also playing a role. All facets of the plot are craftfully woven into diverse narrative threads, leading to unexpected outcomes. An absorbing and thought-provoking read.
What a great read! The author's use of the friendship, deceit and loyalty within the characters, frames the plots with intrigue. I completed this all consuming book twice. For anyone that loved Game of Thrones, this is a must! I look forward to more publications in the future.
An well-thought out story, starting, unusually, after a civil war and looking at how to rebuild the country. Plenty of intrigue and double-crossing with lots of jostling for position in a 'democratic' society. I finished the book eager to know what happened next. Does Yonnis succeed in bringing the people's of Kimalloa together, will Esta be satisfied with her new life, will the likes of Seemo and Pollo benefit from the new order?
