Gild meets Shadow and Bone in this lush, epic romantasy sequel about an Oracle learning the cost of her power, the exiled heir who would rather lose a kingdom than make her a weapon, and the prophetic power that could shake the Four Kingdoms waking beneath her skin.

After everything Alethea has endured, freedom is finally within reach. Safe behind the enchanted walls of Cerulea, she should be able to catch her breath, sharpen her magic, and help Nakir rally the allies he needs to reclaim Lenorea from the Crimson Queen. Instead, every step forward pulls her deeper into a web of power, prophecy, and impossible choices. Her mother is still coming. War is closing in. And with every new truth she uncovers, the stakes stretch far beyond the throne her mother means to keep.

As ancient magic stirs and new enemies rise from the shadows, Alethea must decide what kind of strength she is willing to claim. Because prophecy is no longer something that simply happens to her. It is waking beneath her skin, demanding a price.

And when the world begins to burn, Alethea will have to choose between the girl who once longed only to be free… and the woman powerful enough to change the course of kingdoms.

She will have to awaken.

The Truth-Teller's Awakening is the highly anticipated final installment in The Oracle's Duet, part of the larger romantasy universe Songs of Senmarria.
