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.
