What if everything about your life was destined from before your birth? And your destiny wasn’t to change the world, or do amazing things. Your only purpose was to sacrifice your life for your twin sister. That’s what I am. A body double. A decoy. A fake.
T is for trouble. And I should’ve seen it coming
H is for hells. With all the lies I’m telling, I’m destined to end up in one.
E is for enticing. Which is more enticing? Freedom or fate?
L is for lies. I’m not the only one with secrets.
I is for intriguing. I shouldn’t be, but I can’t help it. Even though I want to kill him, I find the Shadowraith…intriguing.
A is for Aryd. The desert dominion that is my beloved home.
R is for rule. The last thing I am meant to do. Ruling is for my twin sister, Princess Tabra.
S is for sister. Other than my best friend Cain, she means more to me than anyone or anything in this world.
C is for cursed. But no one knows except the king who ordered the curse.
R is for run and hide. Winter and shadow march across the dominions as ageless King Eidolon comes for my sister and her throne.
O is for ominous. Someone at the mating wants Leia to pay for past sins.
W is for wrong. Because when the Shadowraith stole the Princess of Aryd…he got the wrong girl.
N is for now what. Now what am I going to do to get away from him?
THE LIAR’S CROWN by Abigail Owen
Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose—to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present.
Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift—an eerily familiar gift—and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation. Which is why, when a figure made of shadow kidnaps the new queen, he gets me by mistake.
As I try to escape, all the lies start to unravel. And not just my lies. The Shadowraith who took me has secrets of his own. He struggles to contain the shadows he wields—other faces, identities that threaten my very life.
Winter is at the walls. Darkness is looming. And the only way to save my sister and our dominion is to kill Eidolon…and the Shadowraith who has stolen my heart.
