In this fantasy thriller, four teens charged with murder and caught up with the illegal use of magic band together to devise the ultimate jailbreak. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows and How to Get Away with Murder.Ever since his mother was killed, seventeen-year-old Cayder Broduck has had one goal—to see illegal users of magic brought to justice. People who carelessly use extradimensional magic for their own self-interest, without a care to the damage it does to society or those around them, deserve to be punished as far as Cayder is concerned. Because magic always has a price. So when Cayder lands a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to apprentice under a premier public defender, he takes it. If he can learn all the tricks of public defense, the better he’ll be able to dismantle defense arguments when he’s a prosecutor. Then he’ll finally be able to make sure justice is served. But when he meets the three criminals he’s supposed to defend, it no longer seems so black and white. They’re teenagers, like him, and their stories are . . . complicated, like his. Vardean, the prison where Cayder’s new clients are incarcerated, also happens to be at the very heart of the horrible tear in the veil between their world and another dimension—where all magic comes from. League of Liars is a dark and twisty mystery set in a richly-drawn world where nothing is as it seems, rife with magic, villains and danger.

"ALL THE STARS!<br/><br/>I LOVED every moment of this book! A page turner from the start. <br/>What I Loved: It’s a fantasy thriller! A murder mystery, and the most entertaining YA book for me this year (so far). It’s filled with such memorable characters that you’ll want to keep in your heart forever! (Cayder I LOVE YOU!) <br/>The author did an amazing job giving us readers a beautiful description of the world building, where we could picture it so clearly in our minds. I imagine this played out as a great action movie, not to be missed!<br/>The cliff hanger will stay with me until I get my hands on the second book!"
