Truthwitch
by Dennard, Susan
Safiya and Iseult are not your typical heroines. Safi is a Truthwitch, capable of sniffing out lies, while Iseult is a Threadwitch who can see the emotional connections binding people together. Their bond is the beating heart of this story—a fierce, platonic sisterhood that feels more grounded than the high-stakes political chaos they constantly stumble into. The pacing is breathless, moving from one explosive encounter to the next as they try to outrun bounty hunters and navigate a world on the brink of war. If you want a book that prioritizes kinetic action and complex magical hierarchies over slow-burn introspection, this is your next read. It is perfect for those who enjoy ensemble-led fantasies where the characters are just as dangerous as the magic they wield, and where loyalty is the only currency that actually matters.
