Now, to protect her brother, she assassinates their father and takes her place at the head of the family. And that is only the start of her revenge.\n\nSamuel Hutchinson is a bastard with a terrible gift.

But Shan's plans are treacherous, and as she lures Samuel into her complicated web of desire, treason and vengeance, he must decide if the good of their nation is worth the cost of his soul.\n\n\u003cb\u003eFans of \u003ci\u003eFrom Blood and Ash\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKingdom of the Wicked\u003c\/i\u003e will devour this decadent, bloodthirsty debut.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eMistress of Lies\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e'Mistress of Lies\u003c\/i\u003e is dark, sexy, and twisty, the plot as winding and eerie as the streets of Aeravin itself.
