With ancient figures rising from the past, the Raider King’s armies gathering for war, and the magic at the heart of everything dying too fast, the entire world is now on the brink of collapse.

From New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard comes The Executioners Three, a mystery filled with rivalry, romance, best friends, and a gruesome curse that dates back centuries. *This beautiful hardcover edition will include designed printed edges.* Freddie Gellar didn''t mean to get half the rival high school arrested. She’d simply heard shrieks coming from the woods, so she’d called the cops like any good human would do. How was she supposed to know it was just kids partying? Except the next day, a body is found. And while the local sheriff might call it suicide, Freddie''s instincts tell her otherwise. So, like the aspiring sleuth (and true X-Files aficionado) she is, Freddie sets out to prove there''s a murderer at large. But her investigation is quickly disrupted by the rivalry between her school and the school of the partying teens she got arrested. For over twenty years now, the two student bodies have had an ongoing prank war, and Freddie''s failed attempt at Good Samaritanism has upped the ante. Big time. Worse, the clever—and gorgeous—leader of the rival prank squad has set his sights on Freddie. As more pranks unfurl, more bodies also start piling up in the forest. But it''s the supernatural warning signs around town—each plucked straight from an old forgotten poem called "The Executioners Three"—that worry Freddie the most. She knows the poem and its blood curse can’t be real, but she''s quickly running out of time to prove it. Because the murderer—or executioners?—knows she''s onto them now, and their next target might just be Freddie.

"""Um novo clássico instantâneo... um mundo intenso e vibrante, personagens ricos, e uma trama fascinante"" – SARAH J. MAAS ""Bruxa da Verdade tem todos os elementos que eu aprecio: um mundo mágico imaginado à perfeição, políticas implacáveis, romance provocativo e personagens difíceis de largar. Em essência, é uma relação entre duas meninas determinadas que podem mudar o mundo."" – CINDA WILLIAMS CHIMA, autora da série Os Sete Reinos EM UM CONTINENTE COMANDADO POR TRÊS IMPÉRIOS, ALGUNS NASCEM COM UMA HABILIDADE MÁGICA QUE OS DISTINGUE DOS OUTROS. Na Terra das Bruxas, há quase tantos tipos de magia quanto maneiras de se encrencar – como duas jovens desesperadas sabem muito bem. Safiya é uma Bruxa da Verdade, capaz de discernir o que é verdade daquilo que é mentira. É uma magia poderosa que muitos matariam para colocar as mãos e usá-la seu favor, ainda mais em uma iminente guerra... Por isso, Safi precisa manter seu dom escondido, para que não seja usada como peão na luta entre os três impérios do continente. Iseult, uma Bruxa dos Fios, consegue ver as amarras invisíveis que entrelaçam as vidas de todos ao seu redor, embora não seja capaz de enxergar os elos que tocam o seu próprio coração. Safiya e Iseult só querem ser livres para viver suas próprias vidas, mas a guerra está chegando às Terras das Bruxas. Com a ajuda do sagaz Príncipe Merik, um Bruxo do Vento, e tendo como obstáculo um Bruxo de Sangue com sede de vingança, as amigas devem lutar contra imperadores, príncipes e mercenários, que não vão parar até colocarem as mãos em uma Bruxa da Verdade."

Alors que la guerre se profile dans les Witchlands, Safi, Iseult et Merik se retrouvent séparés et en mauvaise posture. Après l’explosion qui a détruit son navire, le prince Merik est présumé mort. Affaibli mais bien vivant, le Windwitch rejoint la capitale, déterminé à révéler au grand jour la trahison de sa sœur qui a failli lui coûter la vie. De son côté, Aeduan, le Bloodwitch, a découvert que la tête d''Iseult est mise à prix. Bien décidé à empocher la récompense, il ne tarde pas à retrouver la jeune femme… qui lui propose un marché inattendu. Quant à Safi, elle a réchappé de justesse au naufrage du bateau de l’impératrice du Marstok et se retrouve isolée en territoire pirate. S’ils veulent survivre et avoir une chance de se retrouver, Iseult, Safi et Merik devront nouer de dangereuses alliances…

Dans les Witchlands, il existe autant de types de magie que de façons de s’attirer des ennuis... Surtout quand une guerre se prépare. Safi est une Truthwitch, capable de discerner les mensonges de la vérité. Un don qu’elle a toujours caché pour éviter les convoitises. Iseult, elle, est une Threadwitch, capable de visualiser les liens qui unissent les individus. Les deux amies n’ont jamais eu qu’un désir : celui de vivre libres, ensemble, loin des contingences de la société et des jeux de pouvoir. Mais quand un sorcier repère le don de Safi, elles doivent fuir. Car avec les conflits qui s’annoncent, tous les puissants du continent rêveraient de s’approprier les pouvoirs d’une Truthwitch. Délaissant leur insouciance, les deux amies devront affronter mercenaires, princes et empereurs. Et faire face à un mystérieux dérèglement de la magie qui semble se propager tel un virus. Seul le prince Merik, idéaliste en marge des cercles de pouvoir, pourrait les aider à échapper à leurs poursuivants. Mais pourront-elles lui faire confiance ?
