The gods have vanished. The Players remain.
In a world where divine beings are nothing but legends, the performers of the Playhouse have risen to take their place. Revered by some and feared by others, these mysterious Players possess extraordinary abilities that can manipulate emotions, alter perceptions, and even reshape reality itself.
Eighteen-year-old Riven Hesper knows the danger they represent better than most. Years ago, an encounter with one of these powerful beings left her carrying a deadly curse—one that is slowly draining her life away with every passing day.
Then the Playhouse announces its most spectacular event ever: a competition offering one mortal the impossible chance to claim a Player’s immortality.
For Riven, it may be her only hope.
Determined to uncover the truth and find a way to survive, she enters the deadly contest. But inside the Playhouse, nothing is as it seems. There she meets Jude, the brilliant and ruthless Lead Player whose captivating charm hides a dangerous mastery of his Craft.
With her life hanging in the balance, Riven makes a bargain with the one person she should never trust.
As the competition grows more deadly and the secrets buried within the Playhouse begin to surface, Riven discovers a terrifying truth: the story she thought she was fighting to survive may not belong to a hero.
She may be the monster at the center of it all.
Because the Playhouse does more than create stories.
It changes them.
And Riven’s tale may have already been written in blood.
A spellbinding dark romantasy filled with deception, magic, deadly games, and forbidden power, [Book Title] is perfect for fans of Caraval and One Dark Window.
