In a land where citizens cannot lie outright, a girl is born whose destiny is to uncover exactly what her history had buried and what no faerie would ever dare to whisper. The pure truth.

The Great War happened lifetimes ago, no one knew who won, even to this day. The Fae Queen had retreated to her conquered land, and neither Human nor Half-light had been seen again.

But the past has a way of catching up to the world regardless of how much you delay it. The mynglass has turned and time is running out. 

Princes. Love. War. 

Aryial is a girl with strange differences who thought her life would finally begin when she moved to the city with her friend. Yet, the life she imagined was not the life she was born for. 

The city holds secrets that many are willing to kill to protect. Secrets that extend further than her very kingdom. The people around her are dangerous, just because they can't lie outright doesn't mean they can't be untruthful.

Except, Aryial has a secret herself. Unlike the rest of the realm, she can lie. And almost as talented a spy as she was a liar, Aryial had her own set of deadly skills. But lies are tricky, they can be both true and false at the same time.

Light can be stolen. Hearts can be broken.

One statement is a lie. Which one?

The outposts are one thing, fey court is another entirely. With an inherited title she didn't earn and massive shoes to fill, Niamh tries to adjust to fey court. Dwendardian's forces are bombarding the castle, demanding Niamh's head for their leader. The harder she trains, the less adequate she feels, not in the least when her growing power only seems to be present when Eamon's annoying her. There is very little difference between love, lust and obsession. But, there is more than looming threats to the safety of all realms; the king's sons are caught in their own games and aren't averse to getting someone killed. While Eamon reminds himself his feelings for Niamh go no further than a simple fey obsession, he is still involved in the tug of war for power among the king's children. Fey obsession is a dangerous thing... So, oaths are formed and relationships tested as Niamh and Eamon are forced to hide away with the hope the fey can draw the fomorians away from Elfhaven. There, their own relationship is tested as Niamh gives in to her attraction to him. ...and, Eamon's will not be the only oath broken. But, once the threat is passed and they are back among others, Eamon is cold, distant, and his oath is near broken. But, not as broken as Killian, who senses the connection now forged between Eamon and Niamh. In faery, friend and foe hangs on a single whim. As Niamh continues to learn more about her fey heritage, she will come to see that there are many layers to the fey psyche. And, while she's slowly shedding some humanity and becoming one of them, she's only barely scratched the surface.

❝ Let's rule a Kingdom, shall we? ❞ •○• When human slave turned Fae Handmaiden, Cara Arnel found herself in the Kingdom she had initially been fleeing to, alive, breathing and waking up with changes both physically prominent and mentally revealing, she could no longer ignore her ominous visions. •○• The guilt of Seraphima's last memory weighed heavily on Cara, devastating her just as much as Arion while Damien was itching to get a glimpse of his Soulbound and Lucien's walls of ice were chipping away. With her Alpha King pulling her in his orbit, came truths Cara finally uncovered. She soon realized that every person she'd met so far was crucial to the answers she'd sought. But the surprises in the power-play, the lies, the deceit, the politics, and various Royals soon failed to have their intended frazzling effect on enlightened Cara unlike those around her with each passing day. Unfortunately enough, the courtesy of the answer to who she was did not extend to the four alluringly dark pieces of her heart. It was four protective males that lusted for answers while their hearts tore apart in search of a feeling that was eating them alive. Meanwhile, threats of Killian kept rising as he steadily grew in his dormant powers and army. Cara could no longer stay still what with new alliances forming and old promises broken, both allies and foes warring. She knew there was no escaping the plans for the future laid out so brazenly. It was time to start preparing. But making choices is never easy. Thing was....this time around, Cara was much more prepared. Just not for the strikes her heart would have to take in the process. •○• BOOK 2 in the Mystic Bonds series. DO NOT READ before reading Book 1. Needs heavy editing. 1st draft. •○• #5 in planning on 13/12/21 #34 in Fae on 20/11/21 #31 in surprise on 13/12/21

31 parts Ongoing Mature

A Killer. A Nobody. That's who she is; these are the things she knows about herself- or at least, what had been drilled into her since she can remember. Who is she to dispute it when she doesn't even know her own name? In a chain of events that lead her back to Prythian, back to her true home, she begins to remember. But it will prove to be a difficult task to figure out who she is now and if she can be the person she was before. It seems she has a part to play that has yet to be revealed. *Trigger Warning for implied/referenced SA* I do not own any of the ACOTAR characters or original storyline included. Those belong to our Queen, SJM.
