The Version We Protect

By Lucian Crowe

Book II - The Versions We Protect - Now Available On Kindle Unlimited

The truth didn't disappear. It was replaced.

They told the same story long enough that it became the truth.

What started as one lie meant to protect them has turned into something far more dangerous: a version of events no one is allowed to question.

As whispers resurface and cracks begin to form, the truth doesn't explode into the open. It's controlled. Sanitised. Rewritten by the people who decide what matters, and what doesn't. Memories are edited. Language is weaponised. And silence becomes a requirement, not a choice.

Some of them want out.
Some of them are too deep to leave.
And some will do anything to keep the version intact.

Because once the lie is protected, exposing it isn't just risky, it's unforgivable.

In this gripping second instalment of The Lies We Leave Behind series, the danger is no longer the secret itself, but the system built to keep it buried.

A tense, addictive YA thriller about loyalty, power, and the terrifying cost of telling the truth when the world is determined not to hear it.
