Behind the Crimson Curtain

A magical con artist and an actor turned revolutionary fight for freedom in an atmospheric fantasy debut where layered secrets and daring love clash on a stage of war. On the coal-choked island of Luisonn, the tyrannical Stav Regime breeds rebellion among the working class. Firin, a face-changing con artist trained by her domineering father, dances between fake lives to escape punishment for her crimes--until armed rebels topple the regime. With freedom finally within her grasp, she discovers one of the heroes is her former lover, Bregan, who introduced her to her second love: the theater. As the flames of revolt settle, Firin joins Bregan on the stage. She's determined to create a life with the honorable man she never forgot. But like the past, love and truth are hard to hide--especially when one of Firin's victims, now president, chooses Bregan as his right-hand man. Haunted by the sacrifices of revolution and devoted to the new government's success, Bregan quickly rises in its ranks... In a web of war and false identities, Firin must choose a side. But is the price of freedom her heart?
