(Originally titled "Long Live The Queen," this is book one in the Mo Canter Trilogy) Imagine a land filled with laughter. Rainbows rise from the sky in bright streaks of color, filling the air with joy and hope. Now imagine a desert plain. Void of life, it sits alone in the world, gray and empty. Guess which world I live in. Whatever you're thinking; it's wrong.

My name is Lucy Heartfilia and I am a human lie detector. I have always been able to tell when people are lying, but it's not always a good thing. I detected a lie when my mother said she was in good health, when my father said he wasn't drinking, when my sister said she was happy, and when my cousin said she found the love of her life... It really hurts when you hear people telling lies, it makes you feel like they don't trust you. But unfortunately detecting lies isn't the only thing I'm good at...I can read people. No, not like reading their minds, but like reading their character and past. I know that my best friend has been abused, my teacher was neglected as a child, my bully has been in the closet since he was 5 and has grown up in a religious household, and my ex has a anger issue because of his undiagnosed depression. One day a new boy enrolls in Fairy Tail High, but he isn't who he says he is...he is the biggest liar I've ever seen...
