Publisher's Synopsis
In "What If The Lie We Call Truth," the first book in The Unwritten Gospel series, Marcus Wren's life unravels after his six-year-old son Levi dies mysteriously beneath a sycamore tree. When Marcus discovers an ancient manuscript in an abandoned church, he begins to notice unsettling anomalies in his hometown of Youngstown-synchronized movements, distorted reflections, symbols that shouldn't exist. The manuscript reveals that Levi wasn't simply dead but "hollowed out" by entities wearing human faces who feed on human essence.
As Marcus uncovers a decades-old conspiracy of missing children, he learns the manuscript is part of the "Archive"-a reality-altering text that records all possible timelines. With help from unexpected allies, including his estranged wife Keisha, Marcus discovers Levi exists in an "in-between" space as a special "Bridger." His quest to save his son becomes the first step in a larger battle spanning The Unwritten Gospel series, where reality itself is being rewritten and the boundaries between worlds grow increasingly thin.
