Description
In this brilliant debut fantasy, a story of betrayal, murder, and rebellion are shattering the city-state of the Hollows where magic is solely sanctioned by the privileged, and only the son of the kingdom's despised traitor holds the truth.
Michael Kingman has been an outsider for as long as he remembers. The court which executed his father also exiled him and his family. They branded him a traitor, and the nobles who had been his friends turned their backs, prepared to let the legendary Kingman family die on Hollow's city streets.
Only they survived.
And it should come as no surprise to Hollow Court, or the King, that they've been searching for the truth ever since.
History is written by the winners, truth buried beneath lies until it's Forgotten. Justice seems impossible in a city where the price of magic is a memory. But Michael Kingman is determined to make everyone remember . . .
This is the start of an incredible trilogy to which the third comes out in November:
The Kingdom of Liars (2020)
The Two Faced Queen (2021)
The Voyage of the Forgotten (publishing 3rd November 2022)

The Kingdom of Liars was a very hyped book last year. I loved it and rereading I can confirm my first impression.
An excellent epic fantasy, gripping and entertaining.
I loved the great world building and magic system, the fleshed out characters and the great storyline.
I can't wait to read other books by this author.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

An exciting fantasy story of how the courtier Kingman family fight against hidden magic and suspenseful court intrigue to reclaim their name and their home. If you like Game of Thrones you will love this! The sequel The Two Faced Queen is equally excellent and I can't wait for part 3.

It's hard to believe that "The Kingdom of Liars" is a debut novel. It's seasoned to perfection. One particular moment (not very far into the book) had me uttering such a string of expletives that my husband came rushing to ask me what had happened! I love the characters (okay, I intensely dislike one or two), the plot is gripping, and the writing flows beautifully. It definitely doesn't feel like it runs to almost 600 pages...
My thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley. This review was written voluntarily and is entirely my own, unbiased, opinion.
