Beschreibung
In this fantasy thriller, four teens charged with murder and the illegal use of magic band together to devise the ultimate jailbreak. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows and How to Get Away with Murder.

Ever since his mother was killed, seventeen-year-old Cayder Broduck has had one goal-to see illegal users of magic brought to justice. People who carelessly use extradimensional magic for their own self-interest, without a care to the damage it does to society or those around them, deserve the worst kind of punishment as far as Cayder is concerned. Because magic always has a price. So when Cayder lands a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to apprentice under a premier public defender, he takes it. If he can learn all the tricks of public defense, the better he'll be able to dismantle defense arguments when he's a prosecutor. Then he'll finally be able to punish the guilty without mercy.

But when he meets the three criminals he's supposed to defend, it no longer seems so black and white. They're teenagers, like him, and their stories are…complicated, like his. Vardean, the prison where Cayder's new clients are incarcerated, also happens to be at the very heart of the horrible tear in the veil between their world and another dimension-where all magic comes from.

League of Liars is a dark and twisty mystery set in a richly-drawn world where nothing is as it seems, rife with magic, villains and danger.

Zusammenfassung
BUZZWORTHY AUTHOR: Astrid's debut, Four Dead Queens, was an indie bestseller, an Amazon book of the month, has over 70,000 adds on Goodreads, and was on several most anticipated 2019 book lists (Goodreads, B&N Teen, Bookriot, Seventeen, Hypable, Brightly, and Bookish). While The Vanishing Deep had a quieter launch the reviews have been overwhelmingly favorable and keep Astrid as an author to watch.

SMART, CLEVER MAIN CHARACTERS WITH MULTIPLE POVS: In the vein of heist novel Six of Crows, this book features multiple POVs, fueling the action and offering plenty of intrigue. From the legal aid who values justice above all else, to the boy who supposedly murdered his abusive father, to the accused mass murderer of over three hundred people who loves to draw, to a princess who killed her brother to save him. The characters are captivating, complicated people that readers will fall in love with.

EVERYONE LOVES A JAIL BREAK: This is both a mystery and a thriller full of twists and turns. As the characters form their rag tag team, readers will be on the edge of their seats to find out if their jail break is a success and what could possibly be on the other side of the veil.

RICHLY DRAWN WORLD: Astrid has created a stunning new world where magic is a crime and reality can easily be distorted. Fantasy lovers will swoon over this captivating magic system where it's as simple as wishing for something for it to come true-as long as you're willing to pay for the consequences.

STANDALONE FANTASY: As with Four Dead Queens, this is a fast-placed, plot-driven, standalone YA fantasy.

MORE TO COME: We'll be publishing the paperback of Vanishing Deep with a sneak peek of this title, one month before League of Liars goes on-sale.
