We Who Lie
He was the bastard prince no one wanted. She was the bard girl who gave him her heart. Now he's king- and the first thing he did was outlaw stories. Lyra Lightfoot once believed in fairy tales. She believed in love, in music, in Cyril Abecassis- the second-born prince with ink-stained fingers and a wounded heart. But power changes people, and Cyril didn't just take the throne of Xena; he's begun to destroy everything they once held dear. Authors are vanishing. Magic is hunted. A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot. Because beneath his cruelty is a secret only she knows, a monstrous truth wrapped in soft promises and broken wrists. To save the kingdom, Lyra must dig through the ruins of the boy she loved and decide whether he can still be saved-or if she must become the villain in their story. A haunting tale of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the cost of telling the truth shows humanity at its lowest point- and how far one could go for a lost soul.
