The Avenger

"Truth is a dangerous currency in the court of King John, and Deanda is about to find out exactly what her father's life is worth."
In the treacherous halls of 13th-century England, Deanda's gift is her greatest curse: she can see the truth in a world built on lies.
Gifted with the uncanny ability to peel back the layers of deception, Deanda enters the glittering, lethal court of King John. There, she finds her estranged father, the legendary and feared Sir William Marshal. But in a kingdom built on paranoia, the King sees the Great Marshal not as a hero, but as a shadow over his throne.
The trap is set. King John offers Deanda a devil's bargain: use her gift to orchestrate her father's ruin and restore the King's lost lands, or face a fate worse than death.
With the crown's survival on the line and her father's life in her hands, Deanda must navigate a labyrinth of betrayal and blood. One word could save a kingdom or destroy a legacy. In a world where loyalty is a luxury and ambition is a weapon, will she speak the truth and rewrite history—or tell a lie that buys her survival?
