The Kingdom of Liars

In this brilliant debut fantasy, a story of betrayal, murder, and rebellion are shattering the city-state of the Hollows where magic is solely sanctioned by the privileged, and only the son of the kingdom's despised traitor holds the truth.

Michael Kingman has been an outsider for as long as he remembers. The court that executed his father also exiled him and his family. They branded him a traitor, and the nobles who had been his friends turned their backs, prepared to let the legendary Kingman family die on Hollow's city streets.

Only they survived.

And it should come as no surprise to Hollow Court, or the King, that they've been searching for the truth ever since.

History is written by the winners, truth buried beneath lies until it's Forgotten. Justice seems impossible in a city where the price of magic is a memory. But Michael Kingman is determined to make everyone remember.

The Kingdom of Liars is a gripping tale of mystery and magic, where the past haunts the present, and the pursuit of truth could cost everything.
