Truthteller




An all-powerful judge with the ability to detect a truth from a lie must team up with the only man immune to her magic to uncover a deadly plot that threatens to bring their world crashing down in this dark and gripping fantasy novel about the limits of truth, power and justice.

Grace can expose a lie with a single question. Until she interrogates the one man immune to her power.

Gifted by the gods with the ability to detect lies, Grace is the Republic’s celebrated Truthteller, rewarded with wealth, influence and a place beside its most powerful leaders.

Vincent is a rebel accused of inciting insurrection against the regime, a crime punishable by death. But when Grace is called upon to expose his lies, she discovers something impossible: Vincent is immune to her magic.

When an attack threatens the very foundations of the Republic, Grace and Vincent must work together to find the saboteur. But their search exposes secrets someone has killed to protect – and forces Grace to confront a terrifying possibility… If Vincent is telling the truth, then everything else she believes may be a lie.

Praise for Truthteller

The sharp edged fantasy romance readers have been waiting for. With equal parts heart racing stakes, achingly tender romance, and deftly woven character work, be prepared to dive into a world truly its own. I absolutely loved every second with Grace and Vincent - both the lies, and the truths between them. Mariana V Coelho is truly a standout talent!

Kalie Reid

Evocative, emotional, and deeply moving, Truthteller stayed with me long after I turned the final page. Coelho's lush world building, riveting characters, and gorgeous prose wove together to make an unmissable, masterpiece of a debut.
