TRUE STORY
Set in a small town and based on real experiences, this book blends the raw passion of a romance with the chilling suspense of a psychological thriller. At its core, it explores the life of a charismatic but deeply flawed individual who cloaks manipulation and abuse in the name of love, faith, and virtue.
With a soft smile, comforting words, and a seemingly selfless heart, Arav appeared to be a guiding light—a man of virtue, wisdom, and divine purpose. But behind the façade of sainthood lay a fractured soul hungry for control, affection, and something far more dangerous: unquestioning devotion.
Told through the eyes of those who trusted him, loved him, and were ultimately broken by him, Fake Saint unravels the psychological layers of a man who blurred the lines between spirituality and manipulation. When love turns obsessive, and faith is weaponized, the truth becomes a painful revelation.
As the cracks widen and secrets spill, the people in Arav’s orbit are forced to confront not just who he truly is—but who they’ve become because of him.
Based on true events, Fake Saint is a haunting, slow-burn thriller about charm, betrayal, emotional trauma, and the cost of following a false light. This is not a story of redemption—it’s a warning.
The target audience is readers who enjoy dark, emotionally intense fiction that explores psychological manipulation, toxic relationships, and the hidden dangers behind charm and faith.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
