The Truth Dancer

*"Truth has power, Inquisitor. It changes the listener. Once heard, it cannot be unheard."* **They call his kind the True. Merauve calls him leverage.** Inquisitor Merauve has broken countless men. When a prisoner arrives who remained silent through six months of torture, Merauve sees his chance for promotion. One month to extract a forbidden monastery's location, or die trying. But instead of screaming, the prisoner speaks: *"I came here to tell you the truth. All of it."* **The Empire purged the ancient Virtue schools.** Yet Elenden deArthis speaks of truth dancers who see through lies, monks who train with blade and spirit, histories the Empire has tried to erase—ancient powers dismissed as children's tales. Impossible knowledge no prisoner should possess. As supernatural forces converge and his deadline looms, Merauve does something dangerous: **He listens.** Something older than the Empire is stirring. * * * * * **This is Stave I of V of The Truth Dancer, Book One of the Spirit of Truth series. The five Stave paperbacks together contain the first movement of The Truth Dancer. The complete novel is also available as a single-volume Kindle edition.**
