A young storyteller must embrace his own skills\u2014and the power of stories\u2014to save a nation from economic ruin, in the standalone sequel to\u00a0A Conspiracy of Truths<\/i>.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Three years ago, Ylfing watched his master-Chant tear a nation apart with nothing but the words on his tongue. Now Ylfing is all alone in a new realm, brokenhearted and grieving\u2014but a Chant in his own right, employed as a translator to a wealthy merchant of luxury goods, Sterre de Waeyer. But Ylfing has been struggling to come to terms with what his master did, with the audiences he\u2019s been alienated from, and with the stories he can no longer trust himself to tell.<\/p>\n

That is, until Ylfing\u2019s employer finds out what he is, what he does, and what he knows. At Sterre\u2019s command, Ylfing begins telling stories once more, fanning the city into a mania for a few shipments of an exotic flower. The prices skyrocket, but when disaster looms, Ylfing must face what he has done and decide who he wants to be: a man who walks away and lets the city shatter, as his master did? Or will he embrace the power of story to save ten thousand lives?<\/p>\n

With a memorable cast of characters, starring a fan-favorite from\u00a0A Conspiracy of Truths, and a timely message,\u00a0Choir of Lies\u00a0reminds us that the words we wield can bring destruction\u2014or salvation.<\/i><\/p>\n
