Man, I totally get the urge to hunt down free reads—we've all been there! But after digging around forums and fan communities, 'The 1916 Project: The Lyin', The Witch and the War We're In' doesn't seem to be legally available for free online. It’s one of those titles that’s either behind a paywall or tucked into niche platforms like Patreon or the author’s personal site. I checked Scribd and Archive.org, but no dice.
That said, if you’re into alternate history or witchy narratives, you might enjoy 'The Poppy War' or 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell' while you save up—both have that gritty, war-tangled magic vibe. Maybe hit up your local library too; mine’s surprisingly good at tracking down obscure titles through interlibrary loans.
Ugh, the struggle is real! I spent hours trawling through shady PDF sites and torrent groups for that book, only to hit dead ends. It’s frustrating when indie or small-press stuff like this isn’t easy to access.
If you’re tight on cash, maybe try emailing the publisher directly? Sometimes they’ll hook you up with a sample chapter or discount. Or follow the author on social media—they might drop freebies during promotions. In the meantime, 'The Witch’s Kind' by Louisa Morgan has similar themes and pops up in Kindle Unlimited deals pretty often.
Yeah, free copies of that one are like finding a unicorn. Even my usual go-tos—Libby, OverDrive—came up empty. Honestly, it’s worth the $10 ebook splurge if you’re into politically charged fantasy.
Side note: The title totally reminds me of 'The Once and Future witches' by Alix E. Harrow, which is free on Hoopla if your library subscribes. Same witchy-meets-war energy, plus lyrical prose that punches you in the feels.

Maria Walker has spent her entire life under the weight of expectations in a world where reputation trumps happiness. As the daughter of the respected Walker family, every choice—including her relationship with kind, loyal Noah Bennett—is judged by high society, who see him as far beneath her standing.
Daniel Rothfield faces a different pressure. The powerful, emotionally guarded CEO of Rothfield Holdings has avoided relationships since a devastating breakup left him unwilling to risk love again. Yet his parents and business partners insist a man of his status needs to project stability—and a serious relationship is the perfect image.
When Maria and Daniel unexpectedly arrive together at a prestigious charity auction, a fleeting moment ignites rampant speculation. Within hours, social media explodes with rumors that the billionaire CEO and the Walker heiress are secretly dating.
Rather than deny it, Daniel proposes a solution: pretend the rumors are true.
A fake relationship solves both dilemmas. Maria’s parents would stop pressuring her about Noah, while Daniel’s family and associates would see him finally settling down. It’s meant to be simple, temporary, and strictly controlled.
Rules are set:
No real feelings.
No crossing boundaries.
No forgetting it’s just an act.
But pretending to be in love proves far more complicated than planned.
As they appear together at events, family gatherings, and public functions, undeniable chemistry emerges—shifting from performance to something dangerously authentic.
Meanwhile, Noah grapples with quiet jealousy fueled by headlines and photos, Daniel’s past resurfaces to threaten the facade, and their carefully built lie begins to crumble.
In a society that measures love by status and appearances, Maria and Daniel face an undeniable truth: the relationship they pretended to have may be the most real thing either of them has ever felt.
It started with one scandalous kiss caught on camera.
She expected damage control not to be declared the girlfriend of the billionaire who ruined her life.

Now with them both in a compromising situation, Amira takes his offer to pretend to be his girlfriend in the eyes of the public for a period of four months in exchange that he pays her and gets back at her cheating ex, who also happened to be his cousin but Amira is not the same girl he once destroyed. She has secrets of her own. And Montez? He didn’t plan on falling for the one woman who swore to ruin him.
Their lies ignite an obsession neither can control, and soon, love and war become indistinguishable.

That title definitely caught my attention—it sounds like a wild mashup of satire and historical commentary! But after some digging, I couldn't find any trace of a book called 'The 1916 Project: The Lyin', The Witch and the War We're In.' It might be a fictional or parody title, or perhaps a misremembered blend of other works like 'The 1619 Project' and 'The Wizard of Oz.' If it's a real book, it’s likely super niche or self-published, since major retailers and archives don’t list it.
I’d love to know more if it exists, though! The premise alone—mixing witches, war, and wordplay—sounds like something straight out of a politically charged 'American Gods' spinoff. Maybe check indie forums or ask in satire-focused book groups? Sometimes hidden gems lurk in the corners of the internet.
