Captive in Truth — Gume Laurel III

Secluded from the sins of Earth, Truth is a community home to devout religious followers. Here, disciples strive for perfection in the eyes of both their God and spiritual leaders. Their standards are high and practically impossible to uphold. Any who fall short of expectations are severely shamed and punished.

Castor is a faithful disciple who has served Truth wholeheartedly for several years. Not once has he questioned Truth's strict teachings.

Until now.

Burdened with a secret, a sickness, and a reoccurring dream, Castor has begun to doubt everything he's ever believed in. He's unsure of what is truly wrong or right, unfair or just, a lie or truth. And as time progresses, so does his sickness, an ailment that Truth promises will claim his life if left untreated.

The cure?

Permanent, unwavering allegiance to Truth.
