Truthful roots is a dystopian fantasy novel and the groundwork of the Seeds of Ascension series. We’re taken to Araktéa, where corruption, deception and sorcery is lurking right under the surface. Truths about the realm and its sinister agendas are about to be revealed, but first its citizens will need to face their own shadows and pay the dark debts of their souls and ancestors. In book one we follow eighteen-year-old Isaiah, the son of Ares Aronin - 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.
