A Thief Among Liars Ebook Cover.jpg

"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 Searson-Patrick, author of the Amber Wolf 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.

Daring thieves and long-time rivals makes E.A. Whyte's debut novel perfect for fans of Dance of Thieves and Six of Crows.

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.

I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee Peoples. I am thankful to those of the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples who have--and continue to--care for these lands here and across the province. To this day, Indigenous people in this region and beyond continue to face oppression, inequality, and violence as a result of historic and ongoing colonialism. Though these lands are protected by the Dish with One Spoon agreement, settlers and institutions continue to fail to uphold their responsibilities. In order to change, we must understand the gruesome history and stand in allyship with Indigenous peoples through action.
