“What would you say if I told you there was a time a Safe-Keeper told a secret, a Truth-Teller told a lie, and a Dream-Maker did everything in her power to make sure a wish went astray? Believe what I tell you, for I am a Truth-Teller, and every word I say is true.”
So begins the tale of Eleda, a Truth-Teller, whose story cannot be told without including her sister Adele, a Safe-Keeper. Eleda and Adele are “Mirror Twins”, identical twins whose looks and special talents are reflections of each other. While Eleda cannot tell a lie when asked a direct question, Adele can be trusted never to reveal a secret. Their skills are often sought after by the residents of Merendon, particularly by their best friend Roelynn whose father is the wealthiest man in town and intends for his daughter to marry none other than the prince.
In this sequel to The Safe-Keeper’s Secret, Sharon Shinn weaves a tale of friendship, romance, and mistaken identity. Sometimes people are not who they seem, and neither a Truth-Teller nor a Safe-Keeper are privy to everyone’s secrets.
