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.

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. 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.

Praise for Verity Guild

“Kera and Torren, whose simultaneous attraction to and suspicion of each other makes for a compelling reading experience… An engrossing murder mystery that will intrigue even readers from beyond the romantasy genre s fan base.” Kirkus

Fans of romantasy will appreciate the slow-burning steaminess and worldbuilding. 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 Knives Out . Emily Bowles, Library Journal
