Synopsis

An actress who can have whoever she wants
At the height of her reputation
But her desires run deeper… As one of the foremost performers in the kingdom of Rescalin, Liv Equitor has come a long way from the gutters of Pastira. She’s fought tooth and nail for her reputation and its protection: she’s determined that nothing and no one will take her choices from her again. But despite all her careful staging, she can’t get her handsy troupe leader to give up the sense he’s entitled to her. She needs an exit—stage left. With their caravan headed to the capital of Pastira to compete for the coveted status of Royal Theatrical Troupe, Liv devises a new plan to match her ambitions: convince the king to grant her permission to start a new troupe of her very own—the first woman-led troupe in Rescalin’s history! But when the prince of the realm, a notorious womanizer, lays his eyes on her, Liv knows that to earn a path to her own fortune, she must keep him interested—but never give him what he wants. Can she play her role perfectly and finally win the right to direct her own future? Or will the curtains fall, leaving her a bit player? If you enjoy sapphic spice, court intrigue and feminine rage, grab your copy of this book today!

About J.C. Rycroft

J.C. Rycroft is a fantasy author living on unceded Wadawurrung land. Their work draws on high and epic fantasy tropes, mixed with a dollop of queer romance, humour, and wit, flawed-but-fabulous feminist heroes, and diverse-in-all-the-ways characters—liberally sprinkled with philosophical concepts—brought to life. She loves bringing together the apparent contradictions: high theory and silly humour, profound political concerns with a rollicking good story, and ordinary people with unexpected demands to heroism that somehow only they can answer.
