A Choir of Lies | Alexandra Rowland
4 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
A young storyteller must embrace his own skillsand the power of storiesto save a nation from economic ruin, in the standalone sequel to A Conspiracy of Truths. Three years ago, Ylfing watched his master-Chant tear a nation apart with nothing but the words on his tongue. Now Ylfing is all alone in a new realm, brokenhearted and grievingbut a Chant in his own right, employed as a translator to a wealthy merchant of luxury goods, Sterre de Waeyer. But Ylfing has been struggling to come to terms with what his master did, with the audiences hes been alienated from, and with the stories he can no longer trust himself to tell. That is, until Ylfings employer finds out what he is, what he does, and what he knows. At Sterres command, Ylfing begins telling stories once more, fanning the city into a mania for a few shipments of an exotic flower. The prices skyrocket, but when disaster looms, Ylfing must face what he has done and decide who he wants to be: a man who walks away and lets the city shatter, as his master did? Or will he embrace the power of story to save ten thousand lives? With a memorable cast of characters, starring a fan-favorite from A Conspiracy of Truths, and a timely message, Choir of Lies reminds us that the words we wield can bring destructionor salvation.

Tulip mania and a plant blight converge to destroy an entire city‘s economy because someone decided to invent viral hype marketing using a storyteller.

A love letter to stories, this also addresses what is necessary to change a society‘s oncoming collapse. Direct action and those with money to actually do something with their wealth. With two competing narrators, we get an interesting look at how your perception can change a story. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
