The Truth-Teller's Awakening
(2026)(The second book in the Oracle's Duet series)
A novel by Camille Wolfewood
She has the power to change the world. He would rather lose his kingdom than make her a weapon.
Alethea Onasis asked for freedom.
Instead, she found war.
She has bled for a rebellion that was never supposed to be hers. She has survived prophecy, captivity, betrayal, and being stolen from her hard-won freedom all over again. Now, safe behind the enchanted walls of Cerulea, she should finally be able to catch her breath, sharpen her magic, and help Nakir Hasan rally the allies he needs to reclaim Lenorea from the Crimson Queen.
But freedom is not the same thing as peace.
Her mother is still coming. War is closing in. And with every new truth Alethea uncovers, the stakes stretch far beyond the throne her mother means to keep.
Because prophecy is no longer something that simply happens to her.
It is waking beneath her skin.
As ancient magic stirs and new enemies rise from the shadows, Alethea must decide what kind of strength she is willing to claim. Everyone around her sees her power as the answer to the war: the court, the rebellion, her enemies, and perhaps even fate itself.
Everyone except Nakir.
He would rather lose his throne than make her a weapon.
But as kingdoms fracture and impossible choices draw them deeper into danger, love and loyalty may not be enough to protect either of them from the cost of what Alethea is becoming.
When the world begins to burn, Alethea will have to choose between the girl who once longed only to be free… and the woman powerful enough to change the course of kingdoms.
She will have to awaken.
Perfect for readers who love:
