The Truth Against The World
Coming this June
A country descending into brutal civil war…
A young artist forced to cross a nation in chaos to retrieve her stolen masterpiece…
Her guide and guardian, who may not be exactly who he seems…
Georgina O’Halloran created an artistic and literary wonder—only to have it stolen from her and published under the thief’s name. Worse, as the inspiration for a wildly popular video game, it’s become a money machine for those seeking to “redeem” America through violence.
