About this listen

In "The Lying Forest," dive into a psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge with every twist and turn. Meet Marissa Vale, a reclusive forest ranger who thrives amidst the untouched wilderness, far from the chaos of her turbulent past. But her peace is shattered when she uncovers a mysterious enclave nestled deep within the forest, where residents wear ornate masks and communicate entirely through cryptic riddles and elaborate lies.

Driven by both intrigue and unease, Marissa's world is turned upside down when she hears the unmistakable voice of her long-lost sister, Claire, among the masked community. This discovery propels Marissa on a perilous quest to unveil the truth and rescue her sister from an existence bound by deception. As she navigates this shadowy world, Marissa finds herself caught in a complex web of lies, where each falsehood is steeped in a chilling curse.

Embarking on a treacherous journey, Marissa must decode a series of enigmatic clues while grappling with the ever-blurring lines between truth and lies. With time slipping away, she risks her sanity and safety to protect her sister and uncover the unsettling secrets of this hidden society.

Themes of deception and reality, isolation and identity, and love and loyalty weave through Marissa’s quest, emphasizing the stark contrast between the human spirit's resilience and an oppressive world built on manipulation and fear. As Marissa delves deeper, she learns that in this eerie forest, truth is not just elusive—it is the most dangerous weapon of all.

"The Lying Forest" offers an electrifying tale of survival and uncovering hidden truths, challenging Marissa’s courage, intelligence, and loyalty at every turn. In this chilling narrative, can truth be found in a forest of lies, or is Marissa unwittingly walking into a trap that could spell her doom? With a gripping storyline and evocative prose, this thriller will leave you questioning the very fabric of reality.
