# The Truth of the Aleke - Hardcover

by **Moses Ose Utomi** (Author)

**Moses Ose Utomi returns to his Forever Desert series with _The Truth of the Aleke_, continuing his epic fable about truth, falsehood, and the shackles of history.**

_The Aleke is cruel. The Aleke is clever. The Aleke is coming.  
_  
500 years after the events of _The Lies of the Ajungo_, the City of Truth stands as the last remaining free city of the Forever Desert. A bastion of freedom and peace, the city has successfully weathered near-constant attacks from the Cult of Tutu, who have besieged it for three centuries, attempting to destroy its warriors and subjugate its people.

Seventeen-year-old Osi is a Junior Peacekeeper in the City. When the mysterious leader of the Cult, known only as the Aleke, commits a massacre in the capitol and steals the sacred God's Eyes, Osi steps forward to valiantly defend his home. For his bravery he is tasked with a tremendous responsibility--destroy the Cult of Tutu, bring back the God's Eyes, and discover the truth of the Aleke.
