A Tale of Truths cover

A dissident scientist, her granddaughter, and an elf who created himself from thought journey to a tiered city built in a giant vertical conch. Here, they seek an audience at the top in order to convince them that their planet orbits its star instead of the other way around. But the road to paradigm shift is never easy—and rarely straightforward—and reveals many truths of its own.

A Tale of Truths reads like a campfire tale, a bedtime story adventure, a road trip yarn spun to wile the hours. It begins with an elf shaped from the sea shore, and quickly fills with extraordinary thieves, a cat that is horses, and a journey by hearse through a sentient forest. What we have here is quirky unpredictable playfulness let to run rampant.”

--C. S. E. Cooney 



Berit Ellingsen's A Tale of Truths is a seamless and beguiling act of world-building as storytelling, a joyous celebration of humanity's addiction to both rational and magical reasons for the worlds we perceive. A delightfully curious fantasy, in the truest sense.
