Clearly someone doesn’t want Devin to know the true history of Llisé.With his guard Marcus and a wolf pack for protection, Devin sets out to discover the truth. But as terrible secrets come to light, Devin realizes that some knowledge can be deadly.
Devin Roché, son of Llisé’s ruler, must uncover the truth behind a series of disappearances and murders that threaten to erase his land’s history. As the ruler of Llisé, Devin is bound by laws that forbid the keeping of historical records, punishable by death. Despite this, his pursuit of forbidden knowledge led to tragedy and the kidnapping of his friend Gaspard. Now, with master bards being murdered and entire communities vanishing, Devin, protected by his guard Marcus and a wolf pack, ventures into the heart of a conspiracy where dangerous secrets could cost him his life.
The premise sets up a conflict between oppressive law and the pursuit of truth, suggesting a narrative rich in political intrigue and dangerous discovery. The focus on forbidden history and the protagonist's quest implies a story where uncovering secrets carries significant personal risk. The inclusion of a wolf pack and a guard indicates elements of protection and perhaps a unique form of assistance in navigating the perilous landscape. The narrative framework appears to be third-person, following Devin as he unravels the mysteries of Llisé.
