Royal Liars - (Royal Heirs Academy) by Lindsey Duga (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

It's been eight months since King Leander named Ashland's heir apparent and a new year is about to begin at Almus Terra Academy...

Sadie is trapped in a fake dating scheme with one prince, while the other is dead set on winning her heart. Titus is desperate to make things right with the girl he wronged, but his own ambitions and secrets stand in his way. Emmeline has lost her friends, her dreams, and her family. For the first time in her life, she's not sure she has what it takes to win them all back. Alaric goes down dark paths to strike against his traitorous father, but his quest for revenge will only keep him apart from the girl he loves.

When the Ashland heirs learn that the school and the country they've come to love are in danger, can they put their egos aside long enough to make a difference? Or will their rivalries cost them everything?

Complete with enemies-to-lovers romance, political intrigue, and legendary betrayals, Royal Liars is a thrilling conclusion to this commercial duology and a thoughtful, escapist read for our times.

Review Quotes

"Lindsey Duga has taken what I love most in YA novels--romantic tension, royal drama, and family secrets--and swirled them together with my favorite setting: a European boarding school. At times suspenseful, swoony, and heartbreaking, Royal Heirs Academy will keep readers flipping pages (and alliances) until the very end."―Kristy Boyce, bestselling author of ​Dungeons and Drama

"Readers will swoon and ache at points, only to rage and cry at others. The blending of these emotions will ultimately keep them turning pages. Fast, engaging, and addictive." ―Kirkus Reviews

"An intense rivals-to-enemies journey, in which four royal heirs must decide how far they're willing to go if they want to rule a kingdom. No one is who they first appear to be. Everyone has a secret. Filled with backstabbing and betrayal, this book will surprise readers in the best ways possible." ―Jodi Meadows, New York Times bestselling coauthor of My Lady Jane

"Gossip Girl meets Katharine McGee's American Royals. The unfurling romantic entanglements provide ample fodder for readers of the genre. Duga has clearly created a developed world within the castle walls that invites readers to feel like they are a part of all the drama."―School Library Journal

"Deftly combines competition intrigue with the romance and friendship drama of standard boarding school settings, making for a twisty contemporary tale. " --Publishers Weekly
