Golden Sentinel: Shattered Truth
A gripping illustrated urban‑fantasy thriller where every lie becomes a monster—and every truth demands a sacrifice.

When a golden ankh awakens in Megan’s hands, the city’s hidden fractures burst into view. Shadows twist into Echoes—creatures born from denial, secrets, and the lies people tell themselves to survive. Suddenly she’s the new Sentinel, the only one who can burn these horrors out of existence… even as they claw at her mind.

But Megan isn’t just fighting monsters. She’s thrust into the crumbling Order of the First Light, a once‑noble group now splintered by fear, politics, and betrayal. Some want to help her. Some want to control her. And one wants to break her completely.

Astraeus Vale—the fallen Sentinel turned Null Prophet—believes truth is a curse and compassion is a weakness. His Echoes swarm the city, feeding on despair. His power grows with every secret left to rot. And he’s watching Megan, waiting for the moment she shatters like he once did.

As the city warps under the weight of its own lies, Megan must decide what kind of Sentinel she will become. Will she burn brighter than the darkness—or be consumed by it?
