When trust is a weapon, survival depends on knowing who to believe.

In Aliya Whiteley’s The Misheard World, soldier Elize Janview is stationed at Crag, the South’s impenetrable fortress, when a mysterious prisoner arrives: Marius Mondegreen, a performer and spy with extraordinary abilities. Tasked with recording his interrogation by a man who claims he can end the war, Janview becomes entangled in a web of shifting truths—forcing her to question the conflict, her role in it, and the very nature of reality itself.

In Ren Hutchings’ An Unbreakable World, petty thief Page Found lives by one rule: if something seems too good to be true, leave. But when she’s kidnapped by her own mark and forced into a dangerous heist, she must impersonate a monk to help steal a treasure-laden ship. As secrets deepen and loyalties blur—especially with the conflicted Maelle—Page must decide who to trust, because in a world built on deception, it may be the only way to survive.
