A SECRET MAGE. A VENGEFUL PRINCE.
WILL FORBIDDEN LOVE UNITE THE REALM - OR BURN IT DOWN...
*please check trigger warnings before diving in

In Tovagoth, Mages like Lena Daelyra live in fear: hunted, outlawed, and reviled. Even after fleeing to Otacia, Lena hides her magic, cloaked in silence. But when she meets Quinn Callon, a quick-witted swordsman from the Inner Ring, her walls begin to crack. He trains Lena to fight, never suspecting the truth she hides. But as their connection deepens, so does the danger... and Lena knows love is a risk she can't afford.

Silas La'Rune, Crown Prince of Otacia, has been caged within the Kingdom castle since the kidnapping and murder of his sister, the Princess. Until one day beyond the castle walls reveals a Kingdom rotting beneath its guiled surface - and a girl who shouldn't exist.

When tragedy tears Lena from Quinn, as destiny would have it, Lena and Silas' paths collide. For the future of Magekind depends on them, and love could just about be the deadliest weapon...

This is a "re-read" for me, The Lies of Lena and the Otacian Chronicles so far were easily in my top 5 reads last year, so when I found out the audio books were coming out I was all in! I would love to be able to pin point exactly why I like these books so much but I can't and just do, they make me feel emotional, heartbroken but hopeful, Lena, Silas, the wider characters and story just pull you in, I loved reading them and I loved the audio book too - it's a world I could get lost in time and time again and can't wait for the Sins of Silas and the Memories of Merrick to come out on audio book too! oh also i really enjoyed the narration for this and that it was duet rather than dual narration - big thumbs up!

Loved it!

I loved the audio as much as I enjoyed first reading the books! It was amazing to hear the characters brought to life. Can’t wait now for Sins of Silas.

Fantastic!

I went into The Lies of Lena by Kylie Snow not knowing exactly what to expect — and I absolutely loved it.

I couldn’t put it down.

The tension, the mystery, the magic — it all builds in a way that keeps you completely hooked. Every chapter adds another layer, and just when you think you have a handle on things, it pulls you deeper.

The dual narration from Kieran Regan and Natalie Van Sistine really elevates the atmosphere and chemistry. They bring the intensity to life in a way that makes it impossible to stop listening.

I cannot believe I have to wait for the next book now.

Already added to my favourites — and I’ll definitely be re-listening when the follow-on is released.

I was so surprised.. Loved it!

I’ve already read all three books in the series but wanted to listen to the audiobook. The performances are perfect. The voices suit the characters perfectly and I’m SO glad Kylie decided to make sure the make actor covered all chapters, not just his own. There’s nothing worse than female actors doing male voices and vice versa. Well done all involved, simply stunning story and performance.

Simply stunning
