THE QUESTIONS.
THE UNTOLD.
Meet Ellie Pool, the Author Behind League of Lies
Ellie Pool grew up on the Canadian prairies, where faith, family, and freedom became important parts of her life. Her interest in history, human behaviour, and the influence of authority led her to examine why societies change and how people respond to those in power.
After more than twenty years of research into history, psychology, and contemporary events, Ellie brought those interests together in her debut novel, League of Lies. Through fiction, she explores deception, political influence, individual freedom, and the human tendency to accept familiar narratives without questioning them.
Now retired, Ellie lives in Saskatchewan, Canada, with her husband and two cats, Thor and Loki. She enjoys writing, gardening, and watching baseball.
02 / THE BOOK
THE TRUTH IS
WORTH THE RISK.
League of Lies By Ellie Pool
Tessa Ryan left Dormin, Wyoming, at sixteen, determined to build a life beyond the town where she grew up. Years later, a family emergency brings her back to a place she barely recognises.
Political power dominates the community. Public fear is growing. The news tells one story, while what Tessa witnesses suggests another.
As tensions rise around a bitter political contest, Tessa finds herself questioning people she once trusted and institutions she never thought to challenge.
How much of what the public believes is true, and who benefits when no one asks questions?
League of Lies is a political conspiracy thriller exploring media manipulation, hidden power, surveillance, and the struggle for individual freedom.

04 / READER VOICES
THE STORY ENDS.
THE CONVERSATION DOESN'T.
"I expected a political thriller, but I wasn't expecting to become so invested in Tessa's story. There's a lot happening beneath the surface, and I found myself questioning people's motives as I read. Some parts genuinely made me uncomfortable in a good way."
"What I liked most was how the story gradually connects Tessa's personal experiences with everything happening around her. The characters have their own agendas, and it's hard to know who to trust. It gave me plenty to think about after finishing."
"This is the kind of book that makes you stop reading for a moment and think about what you've just read. The political themes feel unsettlingly familiar, and the story raises questions about how much influence powerful people really have. Definitely an interesting read."
