The Generals Game

# The Truth in Blood

In a war-torn nation divided between the legitimate White Tree government and the rebel Piloes forces, survival means choosing sides. But for Liora, a noblewoman with forgotten memories and blood-stained hands, every choice leads deeper into darkness.

After months of peace living among shepherds, watching the man she loves die in her arms shatters her world once again. Now she's caught between military commanders playing a deadly game of chess with human pieces. There's Beowulf, the cultured officer whose protection feels like another kind of cage, and Lieutenant Kane, the southern-born killer whose moral compass wavers between duty and humanity.

But the most dangerous player is General Vale, whose secret military division creates soldiers stripped of everything except lethal precision. As Vale's hunting dogs close in, Liora must confront the possibility that her forgotten past holds truths powerful men would kill to keep buried.

In a world where loyalty shifts like morning mist and truth comes with a price paid in blood, survival might mean becoming the monster everyone thinks she is.

*The Truth in Blood* is a dark historical romance set against a backdrop of civil war, political intrigue, and the cost of remembering what was meant to stay forgotten. This unflinching tale explores trauma, redemption, and the razor's edge between survival and surrender.
