The Truth-Teller's Bargain ⟡ by Camille Wolfewood ⟡
Alethea has never been free.
Born an Oracle with the power to speak the truth, she has spent her life in a gilded cage, her gift abused by her mother, the Queen of Lenorea, to maintain her rule and silence opposition. When Alethea speaks a prophecy that threatens the crown, she flees . . .
And falls right into the hands of Nakir Hasan, the cursed and exiled heir leading the rebellion against Lenorea’s throne. He takes her captive, expecting a loyal weapon of the crown, only to discover a young woman desperate to escape the very life she’s been forced to serve.
So they strike a bargain.
Alethea will help Nakir reclaim the crown, and in return, he’ll grant her the freedom she was never allowed.
But what begins as an alliance between enemies slowly becomes something far more dangerous. As war approaches and prophecy closes in, their unlikely pull to each other grows stronger, and soon, Alethea and Nakir are faced with a damning realization . . .
What if the greatest threat to the bargain they made isn’t the prophecy Alethea spoke . . . but the freedom she seeks, and what—or who—it will cost her to claim it?
