Heir of Twisted Lies

By: LJ Andrews

Narrated by: Will Thorne, Lindsey Dorcus

Their love is the only thing that can save them from a cursed fate in the next dramatic installment in the bestselling Broken Souls and Bones series.

Lyra Bien never expected to leave the royal house at Stonegate in one piece after her rare melder magic was revealed. Once she discovered the truth behind the need for her magic and the brutality of her kingdom, Lyra vowed to put an end to the corruption of the crown. But is the enemy of her enemy her friend? Lyra must put her trust in the man who stole her heart . . . then deceived her.

Roark Ashwood rose through the ranks to become Sentry of Stonegate and personal guard to the prince, despite being born of the enemy clan, the Dravens. But in a single heartbeat he destroyed his ruthless reputation all to save Lyra. With his true identity unveiled, Roark revealed years of plotting and betrayal to everyone he loves.

As Roark’s two lives collide, he must fight to protect the woman he loves and outsmart those throughout the kingdoms who want his power for themselves. Lyra must wade through long-kept secrets, rising battles, and vicious court intrigue—all while keeping her feelings for Roark at bay.

A dark magic, a deep love, and a wolf companion

Heir of Twisted Lies is truly a story of found family and overcoming the darkness within. Lyra and Roark's love is fraught with danger, pain, betrayal, and yet the strength built between them overcomes all their challenges. Book two in the Stonegate duology is the epic conclusion we all wanted! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital ARC copy in exchange for my honest review. LJ Andrews never disappoints in the way that she writes the bonds of love and friendships. In this story, we fought alongside Roark and his struggle with the other half. We fear alongside Lyra for her growing powers, her brother, her newfound home, and of course her burning attraction for her ever present protector. Alongside an adorable and devoted wolf companion, new family bonds, and friendships that go deeper than blood.

✨ARC Book Review✨

Heir of Twisted Lies - L.J. Andrews
Release Date: March 24th, 2026

I received the advanced reader copy of this book, but eyeball reading has giving me headaches, so I waited for the audiobook and honestly, SO glad I did! The audio just always hits different for me. Will Thorne and Lindsey Dorcus knocked it out of the park!

This book absolutely DELIVERED! The way I inhaled this story could be studied, but I couldn’t stop. Once I started, I was hooked. This story was the perfect mix of heartfelt moments, battle scenes and epic journeys. And the spice was spicing! This book had me blushing and kicking my feet and squealing.

I’d give anything for spinoff books for the other characters - I’m attached to all of them! Is it dramatic to say that I’m already missing these characters and this world? I recommend these books with my whole heart!

🎧 Will Thorne and Lindsey Dorcus did a great job bringing these characters to life!

Outstanding Romantasy

Fantastic! I loved the narration. It really made the story. I cannot recommend this book enough. A must read/listen.
