It's time to take to the stage . . . A stunningly drawn fantasy set in a mysterious theatre where godlike creatures run the show and mortals compete for immortality
Riven Hesper is running out of time. Cursed by a Player-a godlike performer -she must infiltrate the Playhouse and find a way to break the curse before it kills her.
But inside survival comes at a price. Mortals must compete for a chance to kill a Player and steal their power. Riven wants nothing to do with this until Jude-charismatic and cruel -makes her an offer. Win the competition. Spare his life. And he'll set her free.
As the final act approaches, Riven faces a devastating truth. She might not become the hero of this story. But the villain.
