Violence rocks the town, leaving residents reeling and yanking Majesty into the middle of it all.With danger always pressing, police seemingly getting nowhere and those closest to her looking guilty, she continues hunting and charges into an evil web.

After a bewildering encounter at a local festival, Nima finds herself suddenly immersed in the drag scene on the other side of town.

But she ll have to learn to accept lost love to get there. From debut author Tanya Boteju comes a poignant, laugh-out-loud tale of acceptance, self-expression, and the colorful worlds that await when we re brave enough to look.
