The Kingdom of Frozen Lies

In the snow-covered town of Veritas, lies don't just disappear; they freeze. From innocent lies to world-shaking hoaxes, every false truth crystallizes into delicate ice sculptures that remain in the cold, timeless reminders of what was never true. Twelve-year-old Lena lives in a world where secrets unfold, and her one small lie about a missing schoolbag sets off a series of terrifying revelations. When she finds her father's final promise—"I'll be back before your next birthday"—enclosed in a gilded cage in the Museum of Lies, she realizes some deceptions are too heavy to bear. As a mysterious melt begins to dissolve long-buried truths, Lena uncovers a forgotten history: Veritas isn't a town at all, but a haven built on lies. And she may not be who or what she thinks she is. Faced with a difficult choice between maintaining a fragile illusion or embracing a devastating truth, Lina must confront the mother's lie that holds her world together... or risk revealing the truth itself. A haunting, poetic, and brilliantly illustrated novel, "The Frozen Kingdom of Lies" presents a terrifying tale about the cost of deception, the courage to face the truth, and the power within the lies we tell ourselves to survive.
