The Rise of the Coalition of Seers: Truth, Power, and Quiet Lies

In Blurred Lines, the Coalition of Seers is central to the story’s world. Their rise wasn’t marked by war or revolution. It was slower than that. More inevitable.

Seers began as truth-tellers—quiet figures who could sense lies, glimpse the past, and sometimes see what was coming. At first, they were advisors. Their visions were respected, but not absolute. Kings and queens listened, but didn’t always act. And when they ignored the warnings, they paid the price.

Or so the story goes.

There’s another possibility—one that lingers beneath the surface. What if the Coalition didn’t just step into the void left by royalty? What if they let that void form? What if they allowed the old rulers to fall, knowing their absence would pave the way for unchecked power? The Coalition claims to be built on truth, but their lies may have always been there—quiet, strategic, and deeply embedded.

Still, most people believe the official version: that the Coalition rose out of necessity, not ambition. That they stepped in to prevent chaos, not to create it. And maybe that’s true. Or maybe it’s just easier to believe in a clean origin story than to question the foundations of power.

Originally, the Coalition was meant to be a safeguard—a council of Seers reviewing each other’s visions. But ambition crept in. The council became a ruling body. The checks and balances faded. And the system shifted from guidance to control.

That slow shift—subtle, persistent, and quietly corrosive—is something readers first see in Blindsided, the prequel novella. Logan Fraser arrives in Edinburgh expecting a fresh start, only to be pulled into a case involving a Seer, a theft, and a murder. What begins as a routine investigation quickly exposes the fault lines beneath the Coalition’s authority.

It was satisfying to explore how history becomes myth—and how even the most trusted institutions can rewrite their own origin stories when no one’s watching.
