Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.</p><p>In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.</p><p>Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”</p><p><strong>Be sure to read the second book in this series, <em>The Stuff of Stars</em>, due to release November 30, 2015.

Story Behind The Book
Ring of Lies is set in Savannah, Georgia, the city that sparked my muse. From the historic houses and Live Oak lined streets to the golden marshes and pristine beaches, I love the Coastal Empire and hope that through my Ring of Lies you will too.

This book boasts a multitude of interesting ingredients: two engaging
characters who are perfectly matched, a priceless gem, several sinister
bad-guys and a phenomenally cranky cat --all in all, a great
combination that makes for a very entertaining read. A fast-moving
adventure plot, this story still manages to incorporate a heartfelt and
honest love story.
