Thirty years ago the world as we know it was lost. Now humans live like rats, desperate for food and safety, the wall towering before us as a mocking reminder of what happened...

The wall that keeps the monsters locked away from us. The wall that keeps us safe.

The wall that every day I sneak through.

I thought I was safe in the light beyond it's scarred concrete, I thought I knew the way of the world, but when night falls and I'm trapped beyond the wall the monsters come out to play. In an explosion of shadows, claws and tails. Their black eyes tracking me like prey until he comes.

Their leader... and he claims I'm his.

I play along, I bide my time, but as past and present collide I find my carefully laid survival plan unravelling. The secrets the monsters keep making me realise the wall might not be to contain the monsters inside, but to keep the truth from getting out.

But in that Forgotten City I find my purpose, my future. All the Monstrous Lies we were told coming unravelled and when they do sides must be chosen. Loyalties will be tested and the darkness might claim us all.

*Monstrous Lies is the first book in the Forgotten City Series, all the books feature different characters but to fully enjoy the series I suggest reading the series in order.*
