Anatomy of a Lie

With his daughter running out of time, Elias must find the truth inside his own system.

The truth will set you free. Or it will get everyone killed.

Elias Mercer has his wife back. He has a captured facility, two hundred people with nowhere else to go, and a war he doesn't know how to win.

What he doesn't have is time.

Buried in the data his friend died to protect, Elias finds the thing nobody told him - and it starts a clock he cannot stop.

The only man who can is fifty-one miles north, in a place that never lost power and never lost people.

And Elias has a daughter who is running out of time in the other direction.

He can't reach both.

Whatever waits inside that mountain, it isn't what he came for.

It's worse. And it doesn't need to lie to anyone.

Now Elias has to open the system he built and learn its anatomy. Every layer. Every organ. Every lie holding it together - because somewhere in it is the one cut that frees them without burying them.

And a father who would trade the world for two children is the last man who should be holding the knife.

Sometimes love isn't choosing the world. It's choosing the one in front of you - and trusting God with the rest.
