Throne Among Lies

To Elyren, Lirene Eltherion is the princess of the Moon: living light before her people, sacred proof of the throne's stability, and the fragile center of a political alliance that cannot be allowed to break.To her, the light burns.Every rite, every public appearance, every song rising from the streets of Thalorien repeats the story the kingdom needs to believe: the princess is blessed, perfect, chosen. But beneath silk, silver, incense, and ceremony, Lirene's body tells a different truth. The blessing leaves marks. The faith that crowns her also silences her. The fairy tale adored by the crowd demands that she keep shining, even when shining begins to feel like disappearing.Caught between Elyren's throne, the Church of the Moon, a city hungry for miracles, and a foreign prince trained to treat people as strategy, Lirene starts to wonder whether the failure was ever truly hers.THRONE AMONG LIES is a dark court fantasy about power, faith, bodily truth, and sacred spectacle — a moonlit fairy tale told from the side of the girl who pays the price.
