The False Prophet

In a radiant city where suffering has vanished, wolves rest beside sheep, and no living creature casts a shadow, humanity appears to have found paradise. Then a stranger arrives with a shadow at his feet and a question no one is prepared to answer: can people truly be free if they cannot choose evil? His presence unsettles Daniel, the City’s compassionate keeper, and awakens unfamiliar desires among its inhabitants. As doubt spreads, those who cherish peace must confront what they are willing to do to preserve it. The False Prophet is a philosophical novella about freedom, faith, and the dangerous certainty of good intentions. Through a struggle between protection and choice, it asks whether paradise can survive the right to reject it.
