Publisher's Synopsis
The First Barbarian Slave (Makenne Edition): When Truth Meets Falsehood
By Ansu Turay
"The example of truth and falsehood is like the example of gold and gold-plated. One appears to be like the other, but under certain circumstances, only one resists corrosion."
In the aftermath of the devastating Four Moon War, the once-proud Makeneans have been reduced to slaves under the rule of the merciless Golden Race Army. Religious books have been burned, freedom has become a myth, and hope is but a flicker in the hearts of the oppressed.
Among them stands Rofurmer, the last rightful king of Makenne, now stripped of his throne and bound by chains. Clinging to a fragile truce forged with a race devoid of morality, Rofurmer waits patiently for the celestial sign he believes will herald the chance to reclaim his people's freedom. But as he watches the bright star rise in the northern sky, doubt creeps in. Can one trust those who worship power over truth?
Faced with betrayal, tyranny, and the erosion of his culture, Rofurmer must decide what it truly means to resist. Is it wiser to preserve one's dignity even in defeat or to endure falsehood in the name of survival? His choices will test the limits of faith, courage, and the unbreakable bond between a king and his people.
The First Barbarian Slave (Makenne Edition): When Truth Meets Falsehood is a riveting tale of oppression, resilience, and the eternal clash between truth and deception. Ansu Turay weaves a gripping narrative that questions morality, honor, and the price of freedom in a world corrupted by power.
Perfect for readers who love epic adventures, philosophical undertones, and powerful characters, this story will leave you questioning what it means to stand for truth in a world consumed by lies.
