Set in a world of ancient myth and dangerous magic, The Lie That Binds Them is the heart-pounding conclusion to Matthew Ward’s Soulfire Saga, where a thief dares to seek vengeance against an immortal king—and finds herself on the path to war.

The kingdom of Khalad is ruled by a new and brutal despot and its rebels scattered across its vast lands. With folk hero Vallant missing, Kat is now the leader of the rebellion.

When an assassination attempt rattles the kingdom, Kat turns to a powerful new ally for help. The cost of victory will be high, but time is running out to save Khalad.

    Publishers Weekly on The Darkness Before Them
  • "Dark fantasy that you just can't put down."
    Grimdark Magazine on The Darkness Before Them
  • "Brims with magic, monsters, and intrigue, and the depth of the world is wonderfully, enthrallingly complex. A delight."

About the Author

Matthew Ward is a writer, cat-servant and owner of more musical instruments than he can actually play (and considerably more than he can play well). He’s afflicted with an obsession for old places — castles, historic cities and the London Underground chief among them — and should probably cultivate more interests to help expand out his author biography.

After a decade serving as a principle architect for Games Workshop’s Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 properties, Matthew embarked on an adventure to tell stories set in worlds of his own design. He lives near Nottingham with his extremely patient wife — as well as a pride of attention-seeking cats — and writes to entertain anyone who feels there’s not enough magic in the world.
