She's a priestess with a dangerous secret. He's a praetorian with a grudge. When their paths become inextricably linked, they must find a way to survive the deadliest game of all. . .

Forbidden magic, a twisted mystery and deadly court conspiracies are all wrapped up in this dark fantasy set in a Roman-inspired republic where secrets will cost lives. 🔮

--

Secrets built this republic; one truth could burn it down.

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


Praise for Mai Corland
"Thrilling and intense-Mai Corland never disappoints!" - #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle L. Jensen
