The First Liar

Software engineer Tori Jaecar has made it. At least, that’s what she tells herself. Her coworkers suck, she hates life in the big city, and she's starving for meaning in life since her brother’s death, but who cares? Happiness is a small price to pay for success. When Tori’s boss is murdered in front of her, she’s saved by part-time monster hunter, full-time bad boy Vince Lenoir, and their destinies entwine. In their hunt for the killer, they embark on an odyssey of epic proportions—literally. Legendary villains from Greek mythology have moved to America. They threaten to send humanity back to the classical era. To stop them, Tori and Vince must answer three questions: who they are, who do they want to be, and who lies at the heart of it all?

MC Rising doesn’ t sleep. A Georgia native software professional, MC wrote THE FIRST LIAR almost exclusively in the small hours of the morning— between Discord notifications and emergency code pushes. Whenever stuck in Atlanta traffic, MC passes the time by staring at derelict buildings along the interstate and wondering what stories they have to tell. This book shares a few of them with you.
