The Lies of Lena By Kylie Snow - The Otacian Chronicles Book 1

The Lies of Lena by Kylie Snow – Book One in The Otacian Chronicles

She hid her magic to survive. Now, it might be the key to saving them all.

Book one in the haunting, passionate Otacian Chronicles series.

A kingdom ruled by fear. A prince caged by grief. And a girl who was never meant to be seen.

Lena Daelyra has lived her life in the shadows—quiet, cautious, and terrified. In a world where Mages are hunted and hated, she knows better than to trust anyone. Especially not someone like Quill Callon: golden, kind, and utterly off-limits. When he offers to train her in secret, she knows it's dangerous. When she starts to fall for him, she knows it’s doomed.

But secrets always surface—and love can be a dangerous weakness.

Silas La’Rune has never breathed free air outside the castle walls. The Crown Prince of Otacia is nothing more than a prisoner in a golden cage, haunted by the sister he couldn’t save and bound by duty he never chose. Until one fateful day outside the walls changes everything—and reveals truths long buried.

Years pass. Hearts break. Magic burns.

And when destiny weaves Lena and Silas together, the future of Magekind balances on the edge of a blade—and the choices of two souls who were never supposed to meet.

“She was the lie they built their world around.
Now she’s the truth that might destroy it.”
