Amy Tintera – författare

Om du (eventuellt) redan har dödat en gång, vad hindrar dig från att göra det igen?

Lucy har inget minne från natten då hennes bästa vän Savvy mördades. Det enda hon vet är det som andra har berättat för henne – till exempel att hon hittades täckt i Savvys blod. Och även om polisen aldrig kunde bevisa något har alla i staden bestämt sig för att Lucy är mördaren.

Fem år senare bor Lucy i en ny stad och har lämnat händelserna bakom sig. Tills nu. Landets största true crime-podd ska utreda mordet, och den envisa – men inte helt ocharmiga – mannen bakom den vill att Lucy ska medverka.

Om hon tackar ja kanske sanningen äntligen kommer fram. Men tänk om podden skulle visa att hon är skyldig? Och vad händer när hon återvänder till staden där ingen har glömt eller förlåtit?

Lyssna efter lögnen är en beroendeframkallande thriller med mörk, tvistad humor, perfekt för dig som älskar The Housemaid av Freida McFadden och The Silent Patient av Alex Michaelides.

New York Times bestseller

Amy Tintera’s YA fantasy trilogy blends the romance of Kiera Cass’s Selection series and the epic stakes of Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen in a story of revenge, adventure, and unexpected love.

Emelina Flores has nothing. Her home in Ruina has been ravaged by war; her parents were killed and her sister was kidnapped. Even though Em is only a useless Ruined—completely lacking any magic—she is determined to get revenge.

Her plan is simple: She will infiltrate the enemy’s kingdom, posing as the crown prince’s betrothed. She will lead an ambush. She will kill the king and everything he holds dear, including his son. 

The closer Em gets to the prince, though, the more she questions her mission. Her rage-filled heart begins to soften. But with her life—and her family—on the line, love could be Em’s deadliest mistake.

With the romance of The Selection and the epic stakes of Red Queen, Amy Tintera’s New York Times-bestselling Ruined trilogy continues with the thrilling young adult fantasy Avenged.

Emelina Flores has come home to Ruina. After rescuing her sister, Olivia, from imprisonment in rival kingdom Lera, Em and Olivia together vow to rebuild Ruina to its former glory.

But their fight has only begun. Olivia is determined to destroy everyone who acts against Ruina. Em isn’t as sure. Ever since Em posed as Prince Casimir’s betrothed in Lera, she’s started to see another side to this war. And now that Cas has taken the throne, Em believes a truce is within reach. But Olivia suspects that Em’s romantic feelings for Cas are just coloring her judgement.

Em is determined to bring peace to her home. But when winning the war could mean betraying her family, Em faces an impossible choice between loyalty and love. Em must stay one step ahead of her enemies—and her blood—before she’s the next victim in this battle for sovereignty.

In the final book in the New York Times bestselling Ruined series, the romance of The Selection and the epic stakes of Red Queen come together in a story of revenge, adventure, and unexpected love.

Emelina Flores and her sister, Olivia, were determined to bring peace to the people of Ruina. But as the war for liberation raged on, what triumph and freedom meant to Em and Olivia slowly changed. As Olivia’s violence and thirst for vengeance became her only ambition, Em was left to pick up the pieces. 

But it’s not only Em who is upset by Olivia’s increased violence. Other members of the Ruined army are beginning to see the cracks, and soon a small group of them defects from Olivia’s army and joins Em instead.

The two sisters are soon pitted against each other in an epic battle for the kingdom and the future, and only one will win.
