Synopsis
Truthwitch follows Safiya and Iseult, two young witches and close friends with a persistent habit of landing themselves in trouble, whose latest scrape brings them into direct conflict with a powerful Guildmaster and his ruthless, formidable Bloodwitch bodyguard. Forced to flee their home as a result, the two friends must navigate a dangerous and unfamiliar road together, relying on their bond and their respective magical talents to survive. Central to the danger surrounding them is Safi's rare gift as a Truthwitch, an ability to unfailingly discern truth from lies that makes her a valuable and dangerous asset to powerful factions eager to control or exploit what she can do.
