HTML:<p><b>STARRED <i>Kirkus</i> Review<br /> STARRED <i>Library Journal</i> Review<br /></b>"A breath of romantasy fresh air! Mai Corland is such a skilled storyteller, weaving together layered world-building, tense political intrigue, an engrossing mystery, and, of course, steamy romance teeming with yearning. <i>Verity Guild</i> is absolutely riveting, and I loved it!" —Carissa Broadbent<br /> "Fans of romantasy will appreciate the slow-burning steaminess and world-building. With her political astuteness, along with her ability to tell a good story, Corland has created a romantasy with the suspense of Lucy Foley's books and the tongue-in-cheek moments of <i>Knives Out</i>." —<i>Library Journal</i>, Starred Review<br /> <b>"Absolutely spellbinding."</b>―#1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Karen M. McManus<br /> <b>Secrets built this republic; one truth could burn it down.</b><br /> High Priestess Kerasea Vestal has spent her life hiding the truth—that she's the last surviving heir of the magical bloodline the republic slaughtered. One wrong step could be fatal. But when a senator is brutally killed and a temple blade is found at the scene, all eyes turn to her.<br /> Praetorian Torren Morvane has made a career of dragging liars into the light, and Kerasea is the one person he's vowed to ruin. But locked on a mountain with a murderer, scheming senators, and a prophecy of death, he's forced to work at her side. The closer he gets, the more dangerous the truth—and their attraction—becomes.<br /> With traitors closing in and a nation on the verge of shattering, Kerasea and Torren must risk everything to uncover the real killer...even if it means trusting their sworn enemy.</p>.
