Lies of the Mind

Seeing into other people’s minds cost her everything.

When the gods gave her mind-sight, Sian believed she could use it to help others. She wasn’t prepared for how many friends she’d lose once they realized what she knew about them.

So she hid it.

For a year, she has walked carefully among the legendary order of Heralds. She kept her head down. Followed the Code. Pretended she could only read minds through touch.

Then orphans begin disappearing. And Sian discovers a terrifying truth: Someone inside the Heralds is kidnapping them.

She has no hard proof—only mental fragments no one else can see. When the ruling council refuses to act, Sian hunts for the truth in secret. But the deeper she searches, the more she risks exposing her secret and losing all the relationships she’s worked to build.

Will exposing a criminal cost her the few friends she has left?
