It was a simple trade: Fyren’s life for her twin’s. Then a stranger’s blood changed everything.

Born in the shadow of ruthless dogma, Fyren has one aim: protect her twin sister. So when the gods mark her twin for death, Fyren takes her place.

But her sacrifice goes awry. Fyren dies—only to wake among her enemies, revived by their magic, with their violet blood in her veins. And, her twin remains trapped in the cult of their upbringing. Only Fyren can save her, but there’s one complication: Fyren’s rescuers aren’t about to let her go.

Not when she might be the key to saving their kingdom.

Fyren plots her escape in earnest. But as a forbidden power emerges, foreign threats loom, and the line between friend and enemy thins, it becomes clear that fleeing her saviors turned captors is hardly Fyren’s biggest problem. Unwittingly, she finds herself at the center of a centuries-old conflict—one in which a single wrong move will tip her world into chaos.

Liar's Blood is the first of a dark epic fantasy trilogy, perfect for readers who love complex queernorm worlds, traumatized characters, and a dash of spice amid the gloom. While there are some lighter moments, this series is bleak, particularly in its depiction of patriarchy and high-control religion. See content note for details.

About the Author:

R. L. Newt has always been drawn to the fantastical and grim. She is *obsessed* with doomed love stories, redemption arcs, and characters you will both adore and hate. Newt doesn't pull her punches on depictions of mental illness and trauma, but she does occasionally weave in light amid the dark. It's a good time for everyone (except for her characters, of course. Sorry, Fyren.).

When she's not binge-writing her next manuscript or geeking out over blood oath-based magic systems, Newt can be found cuddling her (cat) sons, cackling at inside jokes with her partner, or climbing rocks.
