The Compass of Truth

In a world shattered by loss, one young woman's faith becomes her greatest weapon. The Compass of Truth, a gripping medieval fantasy by Nathaniel Haselton, follows Mira, a mapmaker's apprentice, whose idyllic village of Oakhaven is reduced to ashes by ruthless raiders. Clutching a mysterious silver compass that points not to north but to "truth," Mira embarks on a perilous pilgrimage through a treacherous wilderness. Starvation, betrayal, and haunting visions test her belief in a divine plan, yet her defiant faith drives her onward. Guided by the compass and the wisdom of a reclusive hermit, Mira discovers that faith is not the absence of doubt but the courage to walk through it. Her journey leads to a sacred shrine and a revelation that could restore her village-and her soul. A lyrical tale of resilience and hope, The Compass of Truth weaves a tapestry of loss, redemption, and the enduring power of community. Perfect for fans of The Alchemist and The Name of the Wind, this novel invites readers to find their own compass in the wilderness of life.
