Truthful roots is a dystopian fantasy novel and the groundwork of the Seeds of Ascension series. We are taken to Araktéa, where corruption, deception and sorcery are lurking right under the surface. Truths about the realm and its sinister agendas are about to be revealed, but its citizens will first need to face their own shadows and pay the heavy debts of their souls and ancestors.

In book one, we follow eighteen-year-old Isaiah, the son of Ares Aronin - a legend and one of Araktéa's lost heroes. After four years as a captive in the Huxley fortress, his pursuit is a simple one. All he wants is to regain his freedom and return home to his grandfather. Presented with an unexpected exit, he is about to undertake a much longer journey than he anticipated and to discover dark truths about the world, himself and his origins.

Truthful Roots

As Isaiah waited for the signs, he felt his heart jumping with the slightest of movement from the others. The hairless bear was still sitting guard by the campfire, and to maintain his credibility as a sleeping hostage, he had to use every bit of effort to resist glaring at him. He knew he didn’t need to look, for he had looked a hundred times already, and it didn’t seem like he would become any smaller than he currently was. His neck was probably double the size of his own, and from the look of his scars (the less prominent ones but still severe), it seemed he’d been through many battles and won all of them. Other than the detail that he would be sleeping this time around, Isaiah couldn’t see how the results would be any different this time.
