Nothing in the Vothia Empire is what it seems, and the most dangerous illusion of all might be the one wrapped around Elysia’s heart. As hidden agendas sharpen into betrayal and old rules begin to crack, Elysia and Rhune struggle to navigate their past and present worlds. Forbidden, consuming, and laced with danger, their connection threatens more than Elysia’s heart—it threatens everything and everyone around them. Where Illusions Lie is the continuation of the addictive dark romantasy series Defying Fate, which is brimming with passion, deceit, and impossible choices.
