Description
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.
A Stage Set for Villains by Shannon J. Spann weaves a tale of cunning, survival, and unexpected roles in a world where the stage holds the key to an eternal fate.
