Treachery and Truths

The Elves of Aerytol • Book Two

After searching for a way home, is the comfort of her past worth giving up the love she sees in her future?

After escaping abduction, Adaline’s determined to find answers about how she came to this other world and why people want to kill her. Now she and Ëólas find themselves deep in enemy territory, and they must work together to escape in time to save their people. As they uncover more of this world’s darker secrets, Adaline and Ëólas are the only ones who can warn their friends of the army marching to destroy their kingdoms’ fragile alliance.

Adaline also battles her growing attachment to the elf general she once hated. Somewhere along the way, Ëólas becomes the person she trusts most of all, the person who leads her to the doorway home. Only now, Adaline’s not so sure she can step through.

With lives and a peace treaty at stake, Adaline and Ëólas must overcome their hesitations and prove the extraordinary feats elves and humans can accomplish together. But can they survive the truths they unlock that will rewrite the past and change the future?

Featuring a strong female heroine and a ruminating elf, Treachery and Truths is ideal for readers looking for forced proximity, friends to lovers, fae magic, faerie lore, and a hidden destiny. As the second book of The Aerytol Saga, this spicy story blends fantasy, adventure, and romance into a breathtaking read. This series must be read sequentially, and book two begins a guaranteed HEA.

What readers are saying

"Treachery and Truths is part two of the captivating series, The Aerytol Saga. Adaline is a spirited young woman who is discovering bit by bit, hidden abilities and a past she knew nothing about. Her world is changing in unforeseeable ways, but she finds strength and support in an unexpected source. It's a great read, perfect for escaping the ho-hum of day-to-day life. Even better, it's escapist literature that examines society structures and racism from a unique perspective."

Rita Scanga

"I couldn't wait for this book to be released after loving the first (Ruins and Redemption) so much, and I devoured it in 3 days. The tension Erin created between Adaline and Ëòlas was outstanding, and the development of their storyline beautifully written. The way the story unfolds is perfect. So much happens, and I haven't even scratched the surface of the parts that made me chuckle, that brought tears to my eyes, and that made me hold my breath in suspense. I finished the book just a few moments ago, and I am still lost in their world. Erin's writing brings me so such happiness leaves me feeling that all will be well in the world. I can't wait for the final part of this saga."

Helen Jones

"Erin manages to draw you right back into her fantasy story. With every chapter, you dive further into Adaline’s and Ëòlas's adventure. With every day that goes by and every hurdle they overcome, there seems to be a growing bond between the heroine and her beloved elf. But what is there in nurturing a crush when humans and elves have never mingled so far? So, Adaline has to make up her mind. Is she willing to face some dear held secrets, even though they are bittersweet and could change who she thought she is? If you are eager to find out, I promise you Adaline’s journey and self-discovery will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Erin has the beautiful gift to make you grow with her main character. You want Adaline to conquer her inner battles, and more than anything, you want her to release her past, embrace her future, and grow into that woman she was meant to be."
