lnstead of a princess escaping from a tower and her evil caretaker, Trials of Lies is the story of Cleo, a young woman, escaping a dystopian palace and a corrupt government.
¤¤¤
Cleo has spent her entire life inside the Grand Palace, training alongside other orphans for a single chance at freedom-the Externship Program. Only a select few pass, earning the title of "extern" and escaping the palace's suffocating walls. But after failing the exam multiple times, Cleo is starting to wonder if the system is rigged against her.
Then, a mysterious instructor hints at a buried truth: the exam isn't just unfair-it's a lie.
Determined to uncover the truth, Cleo's search leads her into a web of deadly secrets, where every revelation brings her closer to danger. Becoming an extern isn't the escape she imagined-it's just the beginning of a far more dangerous game. Now, every trial is designed to test not just her intelligence and skills, but her loyalty, morality, and survival.
With a corrupt government watching her every move, Cleo faces an impossible choice: become a pawn in their ruthless regime-or fight for her freedom and risk everything.
When the truth is a weapon, how far will she go to survive?
