A Court of Wings and Ruin

None of This is True

A psychological thriller that blurs the lines between reality and fiction, following the dangerous intersection of two women's lives. Shona, a reclusive novelist, encounters Jacintha Cross, a charismatic woman who claims to be researching a book about female friendships. What begins as a seemingly innocent collaboration spirals into an obsessive relationship filled with manipulation, lies, and dark secrets. As Jacintha insinuates herself deeper into Shona's life, the writer becomes increasingly uncertain about what is real and what has been fabricated. The narrative unfolds through multiple perspectives and unreliable accounts, revealing how easily truth can be distorted and how vulnerability can be weaponized. Themes of identity, trust, and the power of storytelling drive this gripping exploration of two women locked in a psychological battle where nothing—and no one—can be trusted. The novel examines how fiction and reality can become dangerously intertwined, and how the stories we tell about ourselves can become instruments of control.
