Prologue
Truth & Lies Book 2: Throne of Truth

LIES.
They have a life of their own. They multiply, divide, and conquer—not just the listener but the liar, too. They infiltrate the truth. They twist words until false is truer than reality.
I should know. I’d become a master at them.
For a while, lies had been my saving grace.
They’d kept me warm on the coldest nights and kept me sheltered when only darkness remained, but now, I have wealth and family, and my lies aren’t giving me power anymore... they’re stripping me of it.
Stripping me of her.
She ran away from me.
She ran before I could tell her the truth.
It didn’t matter the truth wasn’t what she wanted to hear. It didn’t matter I had so many confessions and only the guts to reveal a few.
She ran.
And then she vanished.
