About this listen

In this fantasy thriller, four teens charged with murder and caught up with the illegal use of magic band together to devise the ultimate jailbreak. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows and How to Get Away with Murder.

Ever since his mother was killed, 17-year-old Cayder Broduck has had one goal - to see illegal users of magic brought to justice. People who carelessly use extradimensional magic for their own self-interest, without a care to the damage it does to society or those around them, deserve to be punished as far as Cayder is concerned. Because magic always has a price. So when Cayder lands a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to apprentice under a premier public defender, he takes it. If he can learn all the tricks of public defense, the better he’ll be able to dismantle defense arguments when he’s a prosecutor. Then he’ll finally be able to make sure justice is served.

But when he meets the three criminals he’s supposed to defend, it no longer seems so black and white. They’re teenagers, like him, and their stories are...complicated, like his. Vardean, the prison where Cayder’s new clients are incarcerated, also happens to be at the very heart of the horrible tear in the veil between their world and another dimension - where all magic comes from.

League of Liars is a dark and twisty mystery set in a richly-drawn world where nothing is as it seems, rife with magic, villains, and danger.

Critic reviews

An Amazon Best Book of the Month – February 2022

“The plot is twisty in satisfying ways . . . [and with] romances, one steamy and one cozy, a fabulous setting, and complex, nuanced characters—what else could one want for a winter night’s reading?” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Expansive and original worldbuilding. . . A smart, suspenseful adventure.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Scholte’s third novel is a mash-up fantasy/legal drama/heist story. . . The worldbuilding [is] interesting . . . [and will] keep readers wondering what will happen next and find out who—or what—is behind these murders.” —School Library Journal

Absolutely Love!! ♥️😊

I personally was worried about reading this book but I am happy that I did.

First, I absolutely LOVED that the author made several characters, people of color. As a woman of color, I enjoyed the mix race class and possible romance (book two?). As a writer myself, I just loved the idea of this book.

Unique magic system, plot within plots. Fantastic character development, relationships, and banter. I like the mix of Fantasy and Sci-fi, you never question the rest of the world. Great use of multiple perspectives to make the story move forward.

P.S MAKE A BOOK TWO! I NEED IT!!!!! 😊♥️😀

There better be a book 2!

As a writer myself, I am rather picky about the books I read. This one had a great plot line, interesting/believable characters (with good motivations), a unique magic system, awesome world building, intrigue, action, and a dash of romance. The ending was a little abrupt, but it seemed like it might be setting up for another book. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a book that much! Astrid Sholte is a gifted writer and I would rank her with Brandon Sanderson, Marissa Meyer, and Sharon Cameron. So glad I found this!
