Astrid Scholte weeft een uniek tapijt van fantasie en intrige, voortkomend uit een levenslange fascinatie voor het fantastische en een verrassende affiniteit voor moordmysteries. Haar verhalen combineren vakkundig epische wereldbouw met meeslepende whodunit-plots, waardoor een kenmerkende stijl ontstaat die lezers op het puntje van hun stoel houdt. Scholtes werk duikt in de onverwachte kruispunten van verbeelding en spanning, en biedt lezers fantasierijke reizen vol verwondering en huiveringwekkende onthullingen.
"Seventeen-year-old Tempe brings her dead sister back to life for twenty-four hours in hopes of unraveling the truth behind their parents' death"-- Provided by publisher
Ever since his mother was killed, seventeen-year-old Cayder Broduck has had one goal-to see illegal users of magic brought to justice. People who carelessly use extradimensional magic for their own self-interest, without a care to the damage it does to society or those around them, deserve to be punished as far as Cayder is concerned. Because magic always has a price. So when Cayder lands a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to apprentice under a premier public defender, he takes it. If he can learn all the tricks of public defense, the better he'll be able to dismantle defense arguments when he's a prosecutor. Then he'll finally be able to make sure justice is served. But when he meets the three criminals he's supposed to defend, it no longer seems so black and white. They're teenagers, like him, and their stories are . . . complicated, like his. Vardean, the prison where Cayder's new clients are incarcerated, also happens to be at the very heart of the horrible tear in the veil between their world and another dimension-where all magic comes from. League of Liars is a dark and twisty mystery set in a richly-drawn world where nothing is as it seems, rife with magic, villains and danger.
