The Truth-Teller's Tale is a medieval fantasy novel by American writer Sharon Shinn, published by Viking in 2005.
The sisters do not realize the ramifications of their gifts until their teen years, when romantic and political intrigue abounds, and situations become more adult.
She often drags the sisters into the fray, and the summer they are all 17, a chain of events is set into motion that changes their lives.
A review in School Library Journal argued that while the novel is in some ways a "stereotypical teen romance", "Shinn has a beautiful turn of phrase and a knack for writing a sentence that will stop readers in their tracks.
"[1] Kirkus Reviews said that while this novel lacks the "spiritual underpinnings and complexity of the first", Shinn had succeeded in writing an "engaging page-turner" that told a "captivating tale".
