    In the small, seemingly idyllic town of Hermiston, Oregon, Ethan Brandt's world is torn apart in a single, devastating moment—the murder of his parents. As Ethan returns home to confront his grief, he quickly learns that their deaths are only the tip of an iceberg of secrets.

From shadowy meetings to chilling confessions, Ethan finds himself caught in a dangerous web of lies spun by those he trusted most. With his best friend Mark by his side, Ethan embarks on a harrowing journey to uncover the truth. But as secrets unravel, each revelation forces him to confront his own morals, his faith, and the haunting question: how far will he go to protect the ones he loves—and to save himself? 
A gripping tale of loyalty and deception, Confessions and Betrayals is a powerful exploration of the ties that bind us, the choices that define us, and the ultimate cost of seeking redemption in a world steeped in sin.

    Procopius appeared to be a loyal part of the Byzantine establishment, his official writing glorifying the deeds of the Emperor Justinian (d. AD 565). However, he also produced a work that he knew could never be published within the Emperor’s lifetime: The Secret History, a vitriolic indictment of the rule of Justinian and his wife Theodora.In The Secret History, the general Belisarius is presented as an idiot who is manipulated by his conniving wife Antonina, while the Emperor is depicted as a demon king, a dishonest and autocratic destroyer of established institutions. The Empress Theodora doesn’t escape Procopius’ invective – she is portrayed as the antithesis of the traditional Roman matron: depraved, brutal and bloodthirsty.
