The travelling players of Litonya have destroyed many lives by manipulating the mystical realm of Tarya, and Mina has discovered her brother is one of their victims. Although she is determined to stop them, her hopes for help from the Council of Muses have been dashed. The only possibility for healing lies in a journey to the heart of Litonya, and into a past long lost to history. When ancient stories give up their forgotten secrets, a path forward begins to appear. But love and talent are pushed to their limits as Mina and her companions come face to face with an enemy who has finally stepped out of the shadows.

For three hundred years the travelling actors of Litonya roamed the land entertaining crowds, but secretly leaving devastation in their wake. Is Mina the only person with the power to stop them?In the ethereal otherworld of Tarya, Mina begins to master the rare, inexplicable powers attached to her gift for storytelling. She discovers she can touch dreams, influence the real world, and perhaps find out who is manipulating Tarya for dark purposes. In the waking world Mina is on the run, beset by divided loyalties between the travellers, and caught between two men she could love and a brother who desperately needs her help.For readers who loved The Night Circus (Erin Morgenstern).

New York—October 1st, 2078. Seventeen-year-old Eve Atwood had always been the good girl. She’d never questioned the Post-Apocalyptic Laws of the United States of America and for as long as she could think, she trusted President Pierce. But that was before she knew that he’d become the villain in the story of her life. Now Eve’s best friend, Theresa Hamilton, is going to be executed during the A-Day celebrations and she knows damn well that it’s her fault. There’s nothing that she wouldn’t do to save her friend, even if that means joining the Godivas, a terror organization that fights for equal rights for women. Little did Eve know that, sometimes, when you fight monsters you risk becoming one. Post-Apocalyptic Laws of the United States of America: “All legislative powers herein shall be vested in the President of the United States of America. He shall never be questioned for he is the alpha and the omega, our rightful leader.” “Women shall never speak in public, unless a superior being (man) grants permission. Any violation of this law must be reported to the CIWB (Controlling Instance For Women’s Behavior).” “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman at the age of eighteen must be married to a man of her father’s choice. Women that can’t be placed in a marriage, due to flaws of appearance or character, shall serve the superior community in one of the pleasure facilities of the State.”
