A Shroud Undone - A.M. Woodbury

A thousand years of war.

A sacred light built on a lie.

And two opposing forces standing at the center of a truth powerful enough to destroy the world.

For centuries, the Mountain Temple has changed hands in an endless cycle of slaughter. Above it burns the Stillight - a double helix of red and gold - worshipped as divine, blamed for the war, and feared as a power no one truly understands.

Every soldier believes the light demands their sacrifice.

They have all been deceived.

Theron lives in quiet penance, feeding a starving village and asking for nothing in return. Giving is the only atonement he has left for the choices that helped shape the war.

Nyra is a ruthless military commander of the Sylphar legions, feared by her enemies and revered by her soldiers. Only total victory is permitted. Failure is not.

When battle erupts once more at the Mountain Temple, their paths collide beneath six empty thrones - relics of gods long thought dead or forgotten.

One seeks forgiveness.

The other seeks freedom.

Neither is prepared for the cost of truth.

As ancient secrets surface and the nature of divinity itself is called into question, ending the war may require unraveling the very forces that have kept the world alive.

Some truths can end a war.

Others can doom a dying world.

Perfect for readers who love epic fantasy filled with ancient mysteries, fallen gods, morally conflicted heroes, and world-shaking revelations, A Shroud Undone begins A Fractured Balance - a sweeping saga of faith, sacrifice, and the terrible price of truth.
