Description:
Angelette Arabella thought she understood the cost of loyalty. But when fragments of truth begin to surface, she realizes her father's betrayals run deeper than she ever imagined. Each secret unearthed threatens not only her family's legacy but the fragile order of their authoritarian world. As rebellion brews in the shadows, Angelette must navigate a landscape where trust is a weapon and truth itself has been stolen.
Across the capital, Valerius Arabella tightens his grip on a nation built from deception. Yet even he cannot control the ghosts rising from his own lies or the daughter determined to expose them.
Told through interwoven perspectives, Of Stolen Truths is a haunting YA dystopian story about the price of awakening, the courage to defy power, and the dangerous beauty of knowing too much. As the lines between justice and vengeance blur, Angelette must decide whether she will protect the truth or be consumed by it.
