THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE—IF IT DOESN’T KILL YOU FIRST Lara Jansen is a truthseeker, gifted—or cursed—with the magical ability to tell honesty from lies. Once she was a tailor in Boston, but now she has crossed from Earth to the Barrow-lands, a Faerie world embroiled in a bloody civil war between Seelie and Unseelie. Armed with an enchanted and malevolent staff which seeks to bend her to its dark will, and thrust into a deadly realm where it’s hard to distinguish friend from foe, Lara is sure of one thing: her love for Dafydd ap Caerwyn, the Faerie prince who sought her help in solving a royal murder and dousing the flames of war before they consumed the Barrow-lands.But now Dafydd is missing, perhaps dead, and the Barrow-lands are closer than ever to a final conflagration. Lara has no other choice: she must harness the potent but perilous magic of the staff and her own truthseeking talents, blazing a path to a long-forgotten truth—a truth with the power to save the Barrow-lands or destroy them.

It’s not that the writing is bad, it’s C. E. Murphy, there’s no way her writing can be bad. And it’s not even that the plot. The plot is...
This was an ARC received from goodreads. Thanks so much!This is the second book in this series. Truthseeker is the first book. I did not read Truthseeker. After reading reviews of Truthseeker that said it ended in a cliffhanger, I was nto surprised to feel a little lost at the beginning of the bo...
This is your pretty standard fantasy story that wasn't bad but was definitely far more memorable. 'Lara Jansen is a truthseeker, gifted—or cursed—with the magical ability to tell honesty from lies.'I was sold completely on the originality of the plot but was sadly disappointed at how dull it ended u...
