The Itsy Bitsy Liar

What if the itsy bitsy spider could only weave a web of lies?

Lacey Arachne has been cursed since she was a child to only speak lies and wants nothing more than to keep it unknown. As a common handmaiden, she's learned how to navigate her twisted words fairly well. But that all changes when her mistress makes her switch places with her in the prince's bride competition.

Unable to refuse her mistress's plans, Lacey is forced to play the role of a noble and compete in a competition she has no interest in winning. Well, at least that's the lie she tells herself after she meets the charming Prince Carlex...

With the punishment for impersonating a noble being death, Lacey must blend in with the other competitors at all costs. But how does a bold-faced liar avoid standing out amongst scrutinizing eyes? Especially when her childhood enemy certainly doesn't seem keen on letting her go unnoticed... Can Lacey untangle herself from the webs she's crafted? Or will she be doomed to fall with the coming storm?
