In the land of Melgaesia, a dark artifact has been shattered into five pieces and hidden across the country to prevent anyone from wielding its power again.
All were living in harmony.
Until one piece goes missing.
Nyla and her four companions are tasked with finding the remaining hidden pieces and destroying them before they are united again.
Not all is as it seems as the five companions are faced with lies, betrayal, and only one option.

Sphere of Lies

NYLA pinched her eyes as her head spun. Upon further movement, she discovered she was kneeling, resting on her heels. Her hands were restrained behind her, and any further movement worsened her pounding headache.

Rowan was leaning against the opposite wall. Nyla slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him, except it was not the Rowan she had come to know. The Rowan she knew was always smiling and cracking jokes. The person that stood before her now was as good as a stranger to her. A man with no emotion. 


Nyla looked past him at her surroundings. Hard, grey stone walls greeted her from every side and began to look vaguely familiar. 


“Yes, this is the Sage Rebels’ cave,” Rowan said. “My army hidden in the mountains.” 


“You knew them from the start?” Nyla managed to ask. 


“Yes. How do you think they found us in the first place, Petal?” Nyla thought back to the chasm she and Rowan fell into.
