THE ALPHA KING CAN HEAR MY LIES
Lyra Vale has survived her entire life by lying about her name, her past, and who she truly is. But when she breaks into the royal palace to steal a confidential document, she gets caught by the most dangerous man in the seven territories: Alpha King Adrian Blackthorne.
Adrian is a ruthless ruler with a terrifying gift: he can hear lies. No spy, enemy, or woman has ever deceived him. Until Lyra.
The moment she speaks, Adrian knows she is hiding something, but he cannot hear the truth behind her words. Worse, his wolf instantly recognizes her as his fated mate.
Instead of imprisoning her, Adrian keeps Lyra close. As political tensions escalate and rival Alphas move against the throne, Lyra uncovers a deadly revelation. The stolen document connects the destruction of her family to a forbidden bloodline believed to have vanished centuries ago: a bloodline capable of bending reality and hiding secrets from supernatural senses.
Lyra is its last surviving heir.
Adrian demands answers, but giving them means exposing a secret that could destroy them both. As assassination attempts rock the kingdom, their forced proximity ignites a dangerous attraction. Every touch weakens Lyra’s defenses, forcing her to question the one belief that kept her alive: that she can survive without loving anyone.
When a traitor inside the royal court uses Lyra's past to trigger an ancient war, she realizes her arrival at the palace was no accident. She was brought there to be the ultimate weapon.
Now, Adrian must decide whether to trust the woman who has lied to him from the start, and Lyra must choose whether to keep running or finally risk telling him the one truth that could cost her everything.
