Cage of Lies is the series that started it all for Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. Published between 2015 and 2017, these eight books are set in a dystopian society where citizens are kept in line through lies and control. The heroine, Maya, begins to question the world she lives in after meeting people who challenge everything she thought she knew.
The series has a younger feel compared to the duo’s later dark romances and leans more toward dystopian science fiction. Chained was the first book, and later editions were rereleased under the title Rebel Rising. Readers who came to Peckham and Valenti through Zodiac Academy will find the writing style familiar, though the tone is less dark and the romance less explicit.
