In the ages before memory, the world held a single, perfect truth — a balance woven into the very fabric of existence. Order and Chaos lived in harmony, carried within humanity itself. But that truth was shattered in an ancient betrayal so profound that only fragments remain, buried beneath myth, silence, and the slow erosion of time.

The Broken Truth Chronicles: The Prelude is the first step into a world shaped by that wound.

In a quiet forest grove untouched by the ambitions of kingdoms and the noise of the wider world, a young gatherer named Rowan lives a simple life. He knows the rhythm of the trees, the language of herbs, and the gentle pulse of the land. But the forest has begun to change around him. Leaves shift when he passes. Light bends in ways it should not. The air carries a memory it has no right to hold.

Something long lost is stirring.

As Rowan begins to sense the world awakening, forces older than nations move in the shadows. The Covenant of the True Balance — guardians of the world's fractured truth — have felt the same tremor. They know what such a stirring means. They know what it threatens. And they know that if a Paradox Fragment has truly risen again, the consequences could reshape the world.

But Rowan does not yet understand the weight of what calls to him. He does not know the history written in silence, or the truth carried by the Last Witness who recorded the world's first wound. He does not know that his quiet life stands at the threshold of a mythic awakening that will draw the attention of powers who fear what he may become.

The Prelude is the chronicle of that beginning — a mythic account of the world before Rowan's journey truly begins. It is a tale of ancient truths, forgotten betrayals, and the first stirrings of a destiny that will echo across the entire Broken Truth cycle.

For readers who enjoy epic fantasy with deep lore, quiet beginnings, and mythic resonance, The Broken Truth Chronicles offers a world shaped by memory, consequence, and the fragile balance between what was lost and what may yet be restored.

The awakening begins here...
