Truth in Blue

by

Mirai Amell

Sometimes life is better as a lie

Malakai wanted to protect his kingdom from threats beyond its borders. Instead, stripped of his magic and on the run, he now needs to save it from his brother, the king himself.

Amaryllis wanted to have nothing to do with humans. Instead, stranded in the wrong realm, she now needs to retrieve a lost fae relic with powers no one comprehends.

Una wanted to be a knight in shining armor. Instead, haunted by the memories of a life she never lived, Una now needs to find answers from someone she doesn’t remember meeting.

As their fates entwine, each must decide what matters to them the most.
Or risk losing everything that does.

In a world where Angels and Shades battle for souls while the Devil sips his tea, the fate of one country, two races, and four realms hangs in the balance when love and loyalties are tested to their limits.

Told from multiple points of view, Truth in Blue is the first in a romantic fantasy trilogy about loss, healing, and learning to move on. Fans of This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi and Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland would enjoy this.
