When a Lie Learns to Rule the World
When a Lie Learns to Rule the World
What if the most dangerous villain wasn’t loud, angry, or wild—but calm, patient, and polite? Philip Wittebane and the Discipline of Lies is a dark story about how lies don’t always start big. Sometimes, they start as practice. Philip doesn’t shout his way to power. He repeats. He explains. He teaches himself—and others—to believe only what is useful. Little by little, the truth gets tired.
This book isn’t about monsters hiding in shadows. It’s about how language can shape people without them noticing. Philip learns that if you say something enough times, it stops sounding like a lie. It starts sounding like reality. That’s how Philip becomes Belos—not through magic alone, but through control, discipline, and carefully chosen words.
Even though the story is dark, it’s written to be easy to understand. You don’t need to know big words or complex ideas. The fear comes from how real it feels. This is the kind of horror that makes you pause and think, “That could happen.” It’s sad, unsettling, and powerful in a quiet way.
If you like stories that stay in your head long after you finish reading, this one is coming for you. Philip Wittebane and the Discipline of Lies isn’t just a book—it’s a warning about how easily the world can change when no one remembers how it used to be.
