Truthwitch - EN - Susan Dennard - Paperback

The Witchlands, book 1 of 5 completed series

In the Witchlands, there are almost  as many types of magic as there are ways to get in trouble,  as two desperate young women know all too well. 

Safiya is a Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lie. It's a powerful magic that many would kill to have on their side, especially amongst the nobility to which Safi was born. So Safi must keep her gift hidden, lest sh be used as a pawn in the struggle between empires.

Iseult, a Treadwitch, can see the invisible ties that bind and entangle the lives around her, but she cannot see the bonds that touch her own heart. Her unlikely friendship with Safi has taken her from life as an outcast to one of reckless adventure, where she is cool, wary balance to Safiya's hotheaded impulsiveness. 

Safiya and Iseult just want to be free to live their own lives, but war is coming to the Witchlands. With the help of the cunning Prince Merik (a Windwitch and ship's captain) and the hindrance of a Bloodwitch bent on revenge, the friends must fight emperors, princes and mercenaries alike who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch.
