A young storyteller must embrace his own skills—and the power of stories—to save a nation from economic ruin, in the standalone sequel to A Conspiracy of Truths.
A Choir of Lies by Alexandra Rowland is the sequel to A Conspiracy of Truths. This standalone novel continues to explore the power of stories and their influence on the world, but with a new protagonist and a fresh perspective.
The story follows Ylfing, Chant's former apprentice, who is struggling with guilt, grief, and self-doubt after the events of the previous book. Ylfing tries to settle down in a new city, taking up a job as a merchant. However, he soon realizes that even in this seemingly simple life, the power of stories and the ability to manipulate truth have a profound impact on the economy, the people around him, and the city itself. As Ylfing becomes involved in the city's markets and politics, he wrestles with the moral consequences of his actions.
The novel delves into themes of capitalism, art, grief, and healing, while maintaining the intricate, layered storytelling that characterized the first book. If you enjoyed A Conspiracy of Truths and are interested in further exploring the world Alexandra Rowland has created, A Choir of Lies offers a deep, thoughtful continuation.
