Heir of Twisted Lies

By LJ Andrews
Heir of Twisted Lies by LJ Andrews digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Their love is the only thing that can save them from a cursed fate in the next dramatic installment in the bestselling Broken Souls and Bones series.

Lyra Bien never expected to leave the royal house at Stonegate in one piece after her rare melder magic was revealed. Once she discovered the truth behind the need for her magic and the brutality of her kingdom, Lyra vowed to put an end to the corruption of the crown. But is the enemy of her enemy her friend? Lyra must put her trust in the man who stole her heart . . . then deceived her.

Roark Ashwood rose through the ranks to become Sentry of Stonegate and personal guard to the prince, despite being born of the enemy clan, the Dravens. But in a single heartbeat he destroyed his ruthless reputation all to save Lyra. With his true identity unveiled, Roark revealed years of plotting and betrayal to everyone he loves.

As Roark’s two lives collide, he must fight to protect the woman he loves and outsmart those throughout the kingdoms who want his power for themselves. Lyra must wade through long-kept secrets, rising battles, and vicious court intrigue—all while keeping her feelings for Roark at bay.

Heir of Twisted Lies Reviews

4.5
“I love that we got to see more growth in Lyra and Roark's bond, and especially love that we didn't have to go through half a book of miscommunication to get it! I loved Lyra exploring more of her dark side, and Roark delighting in every minute of it. Plus the spicy scenes?? Yes, please. I'm also impressed that I felt connected to every single side character, which usually doesn't happen. They somehow all got their moment and it made for an even better story. Thank you to Netgalley for my copy!”
““Because all of me is consumed by you.” I was consumed by this book! Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for this eARC. The conclusion to Lyra and Roark’s story was so epically good and addicting! I could not put it down. Through the lies and deceit they are still so devoted to one another. I ate up every second of it. I loved watching their bond grow deeper and stronger on their journey to save their kingdoms. Every side character is amazing and gives so much to the story. I wish I could read a book on every character! Roark is so hot 🥵 and I agree with Lyra when she says “Gods, why must he be so grotesquely wonderful?” Not only is Roark swoon worthy… but I was loving Skul Drek 🫠🫠🫠🫠 I can’t say more without spoiling! Go read this book. LJ Andrews is an auto read / auto buy author for me. Everything she writes is gold! Thank you so much for another amazing book! “Why are you surprised my depravity worships you?””
“I received this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. 5/5 ⭐️ 3/5 🌶️ “Roark Ashwood. My hunter. My protector. My lover. My liar.” When we left off in book one, Roark had broken Lyra’s heart in order to save her life. I could not wait to read book two. It. Did. Not. Disappoint. I have never loved a disability rep more than I do with Roark Ashwood. The hand speak is everything. This book expands the plot more with political intrigue and exploration of the different magic. We get an amazing found family and I loved the cast of characters. I’m not a girl who loves excessive spice but let me tell you, the spicy scenes just had me swooning and kicking my feet. I haven’t loved an MMC like Roark/Skul Drek in quite some time. This shadow daddy checked all the boxes for me!! If you loved book one, you will absolutely devour book two!! Tap. Tap. Tap. Thank you to NetGally, Berkley Publishing and LJ Andrews for allowing me to read this ahead of publication.”
“Arc Copy Absolutely. Yes. Broken Souls and Bones was already a smash hit for me so I was pumped to get my hands on Heir of Twisted Lies. This story has all the well thought out lore and thrilling plot twists you would expect from an LJ Novel. I absolutely love the unique craft in this world. It’s so aggressive and haunting. I love the concept of Skul Drek and the violence he brings. As always LJ knows how to make a spectacular morally dark gray MMC and there isn’t a line Roark wouldn’t cross for Lyra. Also spicy shadow daddy scenes we get in this book y’all 👀👀 Flabbergasted. Jaw on the ground. That’s how you use a shadow daddy 👏🏻 The stakes are high, the world is expanding and she delivers on a gory conclusion. I’m so sad that this story ties up Lyra x Roark but I’m so hopeful for more stories in this world especially from Thane or Gunter! Tropes: 🖤 Touch Her & Die 💙 Found Family 🖤 Split Soul 💙 Mute MMC 🖤 Unique Magic 💙 Norse/Viking Inspired”
“LJ does it again!! If life did not get in the way this month, I would have devoured this book in 2 days!! Lyra and Roark's story has become one of my absolute favorites and has cemented LJ even further as an auto-buy author for me! The found family will always be my absolute favorite thing in this story, not to diminish Lyra and Roark's soul bond but well... family don't end in blood! Thank you to NetGalley & Berkley for the opportunity to be an ARC reader for this book!”
