About the Book

The Old Lie is the thrilling and ambitious new novel from Claire G. Coleman, the author of the bestselling and prize-winning Terra Nullius. 

Shane Daniels and Romany Zetz have been drawn into a war that is not their own. Lives will be destroyed, families will be torn apart. Trust will be broken.

When the war is over, some will return to a changed world. Will they discover that glory is a lie?

Claire G. Coleman's new novel takes us to a familiar world to ask what we have learned from the past. The Old Lie might not be quite what you expect.
