The Art of Deception

By Caitlin Trees

Monster. Cursed. Weapon.

In a world that hunts the Veilborn and twists their gifts into tools of control, Nyx knows better than to trust freedom, hope, and those who promise either.

Nyx has been taught to kill. Taught to deceive. Taught to accept the monster that the world sees her as.

Raised behind a mask and shaped by lies, she has spent her life believing her power is a curse and her future has already been decided.

But as buried truths begin to surface, the foundations of Nyx's world start to crack. The more she learns about her power, her past, and the forces tightening around her, the harder it becomes to tell friend from enemy, truth from manipulation.

Power. Betrayal. Ruin.

A dark fantasy romance filled with dangerous power, political betrayal, slow-burn tension, and a heroine standing on the edge of ruin.
