Book 1: A Thief Among Liars
"Warring guilds, deceitful characters, and a heartwarming found family amongst the lies. A Thief Among Liars is a young adult fantasy to get lost in." - Lauren Parker Rhodes, author of the Driarn Duology and When Secrets Beckon
Ceylon, thief and Daughter of the Underworld, has always known she would succeed her father’s command of the kingdom’s most ruthless guild. But when she botches a job—foiled by her sworn enemy, Malachi—her father’s faith in her crumbles, and Ceylon is given one final chance to prove herself: steal the heart of her enemy or lose her chance to lead.
Though Ceylon’s romantic experience is, well, non-existent, she won’t risk her future position for anything, and she infiltrates his guild. But Malachi has his own agenda, and the longer Ceylon is with him, the more she realizes her father has been keeping secrets from her—like importing enough ammunition to start a world war. With the fate of her kingdom in the balance, Ceylon must decide who to trust, who to love, and who to kill. And if there is any limit to what she’ll give to become the leader of the Underworld... including her own heart.

What people are saying:
​
I loved the twists and turns and that I was able to come up with some plausible theories as I read, but was still surprised! The ending has me salivating in anticipation for book 2.
​
My favourite part of this book was our FMC’s journey of not only self discovery but of finding out the true meaning of family and love - whatever that happens to look like!
​
E.A. did an incredible job with world building and it truly felt as though I was right there alongside Ceylon throughout her adventures. The second half was where I was really hooked, but the first half really set the scene and set up the story which is why I think I became as invested as I did.

What people are saying:
​
Seiber is a masterclass in character-driven storytelling wrapped in crisp, electric prose. At the story’s heart is Aspen, a protagonist whose fierce love for her brother propels her down a rage-fueled path that is both gripping and realistic. Her transformation is rendered with such nuance and intensity that you can’t help but root for her, even as she burns through the lines of morality. Her descent raises the question: what would each of us do to survive and to save the ones we love? It’s a relevant and important theme in this day and age (unfortunately), and in this story is framed not only by Aspen’s character arc, but also by strong eco-dystopia worldbuilding and a villain that raises the dark mirror before Aspen.
Seiber is a quick read, but it leaves a deep mark. Fans of cyberpunk, fierce heroines, moral complexity, and breakneck pacing will find themselves hungry for more.​
