About this listen

She was forged in lies. Now she must decide who she truly is.

Kali has spent her life walking two paths—pirate and Shadow, warrior and weapon. Trained by Shadow Lord to bury emotion and loyalty alike, she believed strength meant obedience… until deception shattered everything she thought she understood.

When a brutal betrayal leaves her scarred, hunted, and torn from the life she knew, Kali wakes in the care of the one man who once showed her kindness—Narin, a palace healer she left behind years ago. But healing comes with truth, and truth threatens to unravel the careful armor Kali has built around her heart.

As Shadow World tightens its grip, new rivals rise, and cruelty is rewarded with power, Kali must confront the cost of her loyalty—to Shadow Lord, to her past, and to the lies she tells herself to survive. With her family in peril and darkness closing in, Kali faces a choice she’s spent her life avoiding: Remain a weapon shaped by deception…or risk everything to become something more.

Child of Deception is a raw, emotionally intense dark fantasy exploring trauma, identity, forbidden tenderness, and the dangerous courage it takes to choose truth over survival.
