The Truth Stealer

Some lies can't be untold.

As the victim of a magical experiment, Bex now uses her skills as a treasure hunter to keep herself and her sister safe from those who would use them. She's learned to use everything from little lies and manipulations to the spell branded into her palm. But her sister is dying. The trinkets and spells Bex hunts down for her aren't enough anymore. Bex needs to find something bigger. But bigger treasures come with bigger risks. And bigger lies.

Rowan might be considered the foremost expert on Giant artifacts now her mentor is dead, but she's hidden herself away to protect the world from the Grief Draw, a powerful lantern that destroys anyone who touches it. Nothing can convince her to abandon that duty. Until a charismatic treasure hunter tracks her down and tells her she's needed to find another dangerous artifact. Rowan isn't prepared for a trip to the distant isle of Taur, and something seems off about Bex's story. But can she afford to say no when Humanity's chances against the Giants might be the truth between Bex's lies?

The search will take all of Bex's cunning and Rowan's expertise as well as a deep trust between them. But can trust be earned when Giant magic is involved?
