Publisher's Summary

Set in the world of the New York Times best-selling Winner's Trilogy, Marie Rutkoski's The Midnight Lie is an epic LGBTQ romantic fantasy about learning to free ourselves from the lies others tell us - and the lies we tell ourselves.

Where Nirrim lives, crime abounds, a harsh tribunal rules, and society's pleasures are reserved for the High Kith. Life in the Ward is grim and punishing. People of her low status are forbidden from sampling sweets or wearing colors. You either follow the rules, or pay a tithe and suffer the consequences.

Nirrim keeps her head down, and a dangerous secret close to her chest.

But then she encounters Sid, a rakish traveler from far away, who whispers rumors that the High Kith possess magic. Sid tempts Nirrim to seek that magic for herself. But to do that, Nirrim must surrender her old life. She must place her trust in this sly stranger who asks, above all, not to be trusted.

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

OH DANG BOYZ

straight up the best book I've read this year (maybe in life?) to quote the tik toker who recommended the book, "Marie Rutkoski could have easily written the communist manifesto, but Karl Marx could never have written the midnight lie." This is a grade A Alberta beef steak of a book. it makes your heart piter pater, and I bet I could trick a straight homophobic person into reading it, and then loving it. I do not believe a person can be turned, but I think this book could turn and inspire thousands. flippin koodos to Marie, PLEASE WRITE MORE, MY TINY LESBIAN HEART NEEDS IT
