    About this series

    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.

      Lara Jansen is the world’s worst liar. Literally. Born with an uncanny gift to know when the truth is being spoken, Lara lives a quiet, risk-adverse life as a tailor. But when handsome, mysterious Dafydd ap Caerwyn enters her life and claims—truthfully—to be a prince of Faerie, Lara’s world is turned upside-down. Dafydd has traveled from his world—the Barrow-lands—in search of a ‘truthseeker’ to help untangle the truth around his brother’s murder, a crime which the warring factions in the Seelie court can’t solve. Lara, determined to take a few chances with her life, agrees to journey to the Barrow-lands with him, but there, discovers that even her gifts don’t necessarily prevent people from lying to her...and that charming, irresistible Dafydd has secrets of his own. Caught between ancient, bitter rivalries and a burgeoning evil wielding dark power, Lara’s own abilities grow uncontrollably, and the Barrow-lands may yet discover that truth is the deadliest magic of all….
