Violet is an aspiring playwright who lives in her sister’s shadow. While her sister performs onstage, she hides forbidden magic. Should anyone discover the powers she’s hidden her whole life, she would be conscripted to fight in the same war that stole away their parents years ago.

Iris is a starlet who longs for a bigger stage than her uncle’s theatre, but she swore to protect her sister from the Crown. Without powers of her own, the best way she can do that is through the clever deception of sleight-of-hand tricks, pulling the spotlight away from her sister's with dazzling performances.

Alec owes a debt to a bounty hunter. To remain free, he must infiltrate the mysterious theatre and discover its secrets. But his mission becomes more complicated as he falls for the leading lady, while learning there is more to the theatre, and the sisters, than meets the eye.

On sale now through November 14th (or until we sell out) this phenomenal and captivating read will bring four gifts to life seemingly out of thin air! Boxes are expected to ship in late November.
