The lie saved her family. Now it's about to get them all killed.

Disguised as her dead twin brother, Wren has kept her family hidden and safe — until now. When her secret lands her in the service of the City's most feared man, the ruthless Inquisitor, her carefully built lie becomes a deadly trap.

But the Inquisitor is hiding something too, something that could destroy all that is left of humanity. Surrounded by spies, traitors, and monsters wearing human skin, Wren must play a dangerous game of secrets and survival — or watch her family, and her stolen life, go up in flames.

The Last Lie is a twisty dystopian tale of hidden identities, ruthless ambition, and one reluctant heroine who never asked to be part of this war, but might just be its tipping point.

Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games, the Six of Crows, and The Silo series - or anyone else who enjoys stories with hidden identities, secrets & morally gray characters, an evil regime, and a hint of revenge. Expect power plays, secrets, and just the right amount of heartbreak.
