'This dazzling fantasy has it all: a richly developed world, a captivating ensemble cast, and a twisty, action-packed quest' KAREN MCMANUS, #1 NYT BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ONE OF US IS LYING

'Thrilling, addictive, and simply incredible. What a stunning debut!" THEA GUANZON, USA TODAY AND NYT BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HURRICANE WARS

The king of Yusan must die.

The five most dangerous liars in the land have been mysteriously summoned to work together for a single objective: to kill the God King Joon.

He has it coming. Under his merciless immortal hand, the nobles flourish, while the poor and innocent are imprisoned, ruined . . . or sold.

And now each of the five blades will come for him. Each has tasted bitternessβ€”from the hired hitman seeking atonement, a lovely assassin who seeks freedom, or even the prince banished for his cruel crimes. None can resist the sweet, icy lure of vengeance.

They can agree on murder.

They can agree on treachery.

But for these five killersβ€”each versed in deception, lies, and betrayalβ€”it's not enough to forge an alliance. To survive, they'll have to find a way to trust each other . . . but only one can take the crown.

Let the best liar win.
