DECEPTION'S ROSE

The Goddess of Light has fallen, summoning an era of darkness. Now, chosen by the God of Deception, Rhoswen Fallen must plunge into the darkness to dismantle the corrupt kingdom from the inside out. She is a shapeshifter, a deceiver, and a liar to the crown. Seducing lords, collecting secrets, she leaves ruin in her wake.

Rhoswen's new orders were simple: tear down the estate and the lord who rules. But, the most powerful estate in the realm hides both influence and great mystery. SHE WEARS A THOUSAND FACES, but only one can destroy the shadows of the kingdom.

“I felt hooked from the very beginning… I feel connected to the characters, especially Rhoswen… Rhoswen's power/magic is so fun to read about, and I thought it was clever portraying Deceit's power in that way.”

"It's haunting, emotional, and full of tension. Exploring trust, sacrifice, and what it really means to hold onto hope when everything around you is built on deception. If you enjoy fantasy with depth, heartbreak, and strength born from struggle, this one will stay with you long after the last page."
