  We're bombarded with information like never before. Some of it's true, some of it's spin, and some of it's flat-out fake news. And that's by design. Propaganda helps governments and corporations sell us products, lifestyles, and ideas. Sometimes the agenda is harmless, but other times it's destructive, and it's not always easy to spot the difference. 
   
   
   
  Whether you want to be informed on the issues or debunk misinformation wherever you encounter it, How to Win the War on Truth is here to help. You'll learn: the history of propaganda, from Edward Bernays to Fox News; why simple messages are so powerful; who profits from propaganda; how propaganda is manufactured and delivered directly to you; and how to find the truth for yourself. 
   
   
   
  Filled with real-world examples of propaganda in all its forms, How to Win the War on Truth will help you see the world with clear eyes for the first time. Because when it comes to preserving democracy and fighting for our rights, it's essential that we do.

  In a town where health is currency and longing is lure, a reluctant investigator and seamstress must uncover whether hunger will anchor a man already slipping into the dark. 
  Behind the decrepit doors of an infirmary said to offer miraculous cures to London's ailing elite, people are vanishing. Private Investigator and estranged heir to French aristocracy Jacques Valmont is summoned across the channel to sleuth, despite the lingering sickness of his own—one of grief that stirs in his blood and shadows his mind. 
  Amidst the fog and fever, he finds an unlikely ally in Annie, the quick-witted seamstress working next door to Beecham's Infirmary, whose presence seems to quiet the storm inside him. When she suggests the only way to breach the infirmary's guarded walls is becoming a patient himself, Annie's grandmother warns them both of curses that fester with longing. Unnatural aches that transform a person entirely, if not quelled. 
  As Jacques nears the truth, desire and dread twist together. Annie may be the last tether holding him to his humanity—or the final thread that unravels it.

  "Why are you here to insult me again!" Moaned Dr. Alexander. 
  "No Astra, Queen of Vampires had a vision on a crime scene!" said Lance. 
  "What's new my granddaughter is a medium!" Dr. Alexander moaned. 
  "But what she saw wasn't real!" said Lance 
  "Then why tell us, if it is not real!" said Dante who was trying to clean the blood off the pages of the bloody papers. 
  "What did she see?" asked Dr. Alexander. 
  "A white raven sitting on a human skull blood running from the nose hole of the skull in a dark place," said Lance turning white. 
  "It means you Dad your symbol is a white raven, the skull symbol of death." 
  "What is that meant to mean?" said Dante. 
  "Blue Midnight is going to die or I am King of the grim reapers!" snapped Blake shortly. 
  "What about the bloody nose?" asked Dante. 
  "Blood of death!" said Lance. 
  "What does that mean!" said Dante. 
  "There will be blood!" said Blake. 
  "Don't be a drama queen!" scoffed Lance. 
  "It's just an omen they happen someone is trying to reveal me, the Emperor of the solar system as a grim reaper!" Blake moaned, "and my blood relatives! Wouldn't put it past this guy on the slab! He has the motivation and he didn't know Astra was one of my kin who knew who I was! Come with me you two!" a portal of darkness swirled in the air.
