Produktbeschreibung
There are Four Truths Four Truths given by God and proclaimed by the priests. They are the foundation of all life inside and outside of the Spire. They keep everyone in their place as is proper before God. Sharn doesn't care about Truths. He only cares about begging or stealing enough to survive. He knows the stories; how the world had collapsed and all of society had moved to the great Spires to survive. He knows that he will never rise up the levels. He knows the Truths will keep him where he is. Everything changes when a desperate plan for food goes awry and Sharn is forced to fight for his life. The head of the Spire Guard witnesses the fight and takes Sharn to the Insula-an exclusive school where young boys are trained to fight for sport. Within the Insula's confines, Sharn learns to fight, tries to learn balance, and discovers that the priests' Four Truths are mere fragments of a grander narrative. There are three further truths that have been hidden from everyone, and a remnant of people who believe that God doesn't just want people to stay in their place. As he navigates conflicting loyalties and battles his own doubts, Sharn must decide where he truly belongs and whether he dares to embrace the profound revelations of the Further Truths

Autorenporträt
Shane Yancey is a youth pastor at a mid-sized Baptist church in Kentucky where he lives with his wife and two teenage sons. He grew up reading Tolkien, Lewis, and whatever book at the library had a picture of a dragon on it. His love of reading was formed by his mother who would read aloud to him. Her voice gave him stories like "Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry"; "Sounder"; "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" "Are You There God it's Me Margaret" and "I am the Cheese. He studied Creative Writing at Auburn University and was mostly focused on writing poetry and short stories. It was a desire to write something that he could share with his sons that motivated him to move into novels. Shane is a collector of board games and on most days that you ask him Kingsburg is his favorite to play.
