Truth's Echo

Once the heir to a noble house built on deception, manipulation, and cruelty, Ellis has been magically bound to something she was never meant to embrace—truth itself. Unable to lie, struggling against a magic that judges her every thought, she has fallen for a kind soul who pushes her to become more than she is.When a plague sweeps through a quarry town, Ellis and her companions take up the quest to heal the dying. But her past still shackles her, and her magic resists her touch. No matter how hard she tries, it isn’t enough.She must change—truly change—or they will all die.---It is also being published on Royal Road.
