City of Lies: The Keepers 2 plunges readers into an enthralling adventure alongside Goldie Roth, a skilled thief and proficient liar. Though she yearns to be one of the esteemed keepers of the enigmatic Museum of Dunt, her path takes a turn when her parents fall ill, compelling her to stay by their side.

However, when Toadspit's sister, Bonnie, is kidnapped, Goldie has no choice but to spring into action. Together with her friend Toadspit, they pursue the elusive child-stealers to the nearby city of Spoke.

As their quest unfolds, Toadspit too is captured, plunging Goldie into a world of perilous secretsβ€”secrets so dangerous that those who guard them are willing to kill to ensure their silence. Faced with these daunting challenges, Goldie must utilise all her skills in deception and thievery to save her friends and herself.

The stakes are higher than ever as the Fugleman returns to Jewel, signalling a time when the Fifth Keeper’s presence is crucial. Goldie’s survival and quick wit are pivotal as the impending need for a new Keeper looms.

About the Author

Lian Tanner is a children's author and playwright.

It took her a while to realise that all of these jobs were really just preparation for being a writer.

She has not yet mastered the art of Concealment by the Imitation of Nothingness, but she is quite good at Camouflage.
