The Lies We Conjure
by Sarah Henning

Locked-room mystery with witches! What starts as an innocent invitation for two sisters to make some quick cash turns into a nightmare that leaves them trapped on an estate with a secret society of witches. Now, these sisters will have to do whatever it takes to make sure no one figures out who they really are, and make it out of this deadly game of Clue alive. 

Knives Out meets The Inheritance Games with magic in this standalone supernatural thriller by Sarah Henning: thirteen witches, a locked-room murder, and two non-magical sisters trapped in a deadly game of Clue.

• Features a murder victim who’s left clues from beyond the grave, a polished-looking family seething with drama and secrets, and a hidden community of North American witches who shape society from behind the scenes. This is a poppy, on-trend story with a cinematic feel.
• Has all of Henning’s signature style, sophisticated modern voice, relentless pacing, and instinct for a hook without any of the series baggage.
• Henning’s previous series opener with us, The Princess Will Save You, was our most requested ARC on Shelf Awareness that year and boasts 4 printings and an 84% sell-through rate despite publishing right into the pandemic.
• Henning has appeared in Teen Vogue, B&N Teen’s most anticipated, ABA Indies Introduce, and her first book has been optioned for both film and theater adaptations.
