A MATTER OF TRUTH by Heather Lyons Playlist


A MATTER OF TRUTH Synopsis:
Not long ago, Chloe Lilywhite seemingly had it all: a prized spot on the Magicals’ Council as lead Creator, a loving fiancé and Connection, and a wealth of good friends. But the poised young woman she projected was nothing more than a façade. Her parents all but disowned her. Power plays and accusations of murder within the Council rocked her confidence. And most difficult of all, her secret, a secondary Connection to Jonah’s twin brother, Kellan, became painfully impossible to resist. Desperate to gain control over her rapidly unraveling existence, Chloe did the unthinkable: she ran away.

Now living and working in Alaska under an alias, Chloe is slowly discovering who she is and, more importantly, who she wants to be. But the more she tries to leave the Magical world behind, the harder it becomes to stay hidden. The Elders are back with a vengeance, and the stakes have never been higher. Chloe finally has to make a choice: embrace her pre-ordained Fate or pave her own way in the worlds. One thing’s for sure, though—she’s finally up for the challenge.

About Heather Lyons:

Heather Lyons has always had a thing for words—She’s been writing stories since she was a kid. In addition to writing, she’s also been an archaeologist and a teacher. Heather is a rabid music fan, as evidenced by her (mostly) music-centric blog, and she’s married to an even larger music snob. They’re happily raising three kids who are mini music fiends who love to read and be read to.

Playlist:
Hi, my name is Heather, and I’m a music junkie.

Confession time: my writing playlist for A Matter of Truth has forty-seven songs on it. I know, I know, that’s a lot (yet smaller than the last two books’ worth!), so I won’t be sharing them all with y’all, but I do want to some of the greatest hits.


1.      The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert: While this song is technically about a woman going home to figure out who she is, I felt it really symbolized Chloe at the beginning of A Matter of Truth, as she’s out to find out who she is.


You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can.
I got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am.


2.      Safe and Sound by Electric President: This song is so Will and Chloe—he’d say it represents her to him, and she’d say it’s him to her.

But there's no way out
I'll let you build your home with me 'til the clocks run down
When your luck's run out
Call me and I will come and fix you get your feet on the ground
When there's no way out
Call me and I will come and bury you all safe and sound


3.      Poison and Wine by The Civil Wars: I think, if asked, Chloe, Kellan, and Jonah would all say this song applies to them.

You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine
Oh I don't love you but I always will


4.      Radioactive by Imagine Dragons: Not to give too much away about this one, but let’s just say this is the backdrop to sonic booms, swords, warehouses, and fights to the death.

This is it, the apocalypse.
