But when a chance collision with a mysterious half-blood wearing a forbidden pendant sparks unexpected alliances—and enemies—cracks begin to form in everything she thought she knew.As Kasumi’s hidden heritage surfaces, drawing the attention of both the Trua’s most powerful enforcers and whispers of a long-dormant rebellion, she must navigate a web of secrets that threaten her family, her freedom, and the fragile hope she’s only begun to feel.In a land where one wrong step can brand you a traitor, Kasumi’s choices will either protect the life she’s always known—or shatter it forever.The Trua is a gripping Christian dystopian series that explores the battle between light and darkness, and the unshakable truth that no soul is beyond redemption.Content Warning!This book is a work of Christian fiction intended for mature audiences.
