His gaze falls to the author’s name printed below the title in small, elegant script: F. H. His heartbeat falters.

My fingers moved across another shelf, and then suddenly, they stopped. A book stood slightly apart from the others, as if it had been waiting for me. ‘The Book of Unveiled Truths” Just the name alone told me this book carried weight. Real power.

This truth machine will determine the truth of your answer.” Truth machines react to racing hearts. And right now my heart is racing badly. If only Zeath had ‘run’ as an option too, I’d have gone with ‘run’ instead. But I can’t run and leave him. I have to pick truth. But with the involvement of the truth machine, I feel like everything is taking a bad turn.

At home, Ethan was asleep on the couch, book open on his chest. Leo’s school project was spread across the table charts, arrows, big questions written in messy handwriting.
