The First Fragment

Rowan has lived his entire life under the Covenant — a sacred order that claims to guard the world from a catastrophe lost to history. Truth is what they say it is. Memory is what they allow to remain. And the forests, once alive with old songs, now whisper only in fragments.

When Rowan uncovers a buried Fragment in a forbidden grove, something ancient wakes. The pulse that answers him is older than the Covenant, older than the stories, older than the lie that holds the world together. It doesn't ask for belief. It demands a price.

As storms begin to move in unfamiliar rhythms and the Covenant's last secrets shift in the shadows, Rowan is forced to choose: cling to the safety of the lie, or follow a broken truth that could shatter everything he's ever known.

Book One of The Broken Truth Chronicles begins with a single Fragment — and the first consequence of remembering what was never meant to be recalled.
