BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Around every corner, behind every person, underneath every stone, lies a dark past in Zeibesia. War, greed, and murder are but few of the troubles many have faced. In Fake World, the worst dwell, the worst fight, the worst kill. Over power, love, or just plain desire for what they do not hold. The Fakrilias, the underground resistance to the largest, darkest secret held by the most insane and bloodthirsty warlord of all time, hold the secret of a boy, cast away by death and misfortune, suicide and murder, thrown into a world not his own. But he must keep fighting, no matter where he is and who is by his side. Sombar Graygang must keep fighting. For on Zeibesia, once you stop fighting, you die.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Born in Evanston, Illinois, to Eckhard Gerdes and Persis Gerdes, both writers themselves, Ulysses Gerdes developed a passion and love for story-telling and reading. Early on, he would imagine fantastic worlds, and after years of developing, contemplating, and thinking up these worlds, he decided to put them on paper as an author. The Fake Chronicles are the culmination of many years of work, and the second book of the series , Fake Chronicles: Companions, is well underway.
