Pretty Lovely Lies

In the kingdom of Veydrith, where honor is currency and deception is an art, Lady Evelyn Varcrest has spent her life proving she belongs among the kingdom’s elite knights. Known for her sharp sword and sharper wit, she has little patience for noble politics—or persistent suitors. But when an infuriating noble refuses to take “no” for an answer, Evelyn makes an impulsive decision that changes everything: she pretends to be in a relationship with the one man she despises most—Damien Aldric. Damien, the infamous Shadow Knight, is as dangerous as he is charming—a man whose past is cloaked in secrecy and whose reputation precedes him. He thrives in deception, maneuvering through the treacherous world of politics and war with ease. When Evelyn drags him into her reckless lie, he doesn’t just go along with it—he makes it his game. What starts as a temporary ruse quickly spirals out of control as the royal court takes notice, and their fabricated romance becomes a political spectacle. Forced to keep up appearances, Evelyn and Damien navigate lavish banquets, noble gossip, and deadly intrigue, all while clashing at every turn. But the deeper they play the game, the harder it becomes to tell where the lies end and the truth begins. As old enemies resurface and hidden agendas come to light, Evelyn begins to question whether Damien is truly the reckless rogue she once despised, or if he’s hiding something far more dangerous—something that could shake the very foundation of the kingdom. With steel in one hand and deception in the other, Evelyn must decide: is she fighting against him or alongside him? Because in a kingdom where secrets cut deeper than blades, the most dangerous game of all is falling in love.
