Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Be prepared to stay up late with this one."--NPR.org "[A] must-have story."--School Library Journal (starred review) "Evocative and refreshingly unique."--Tor A young woman with a dangerous power she barely understands. A smuggler with secrets of his own. A country torn between a merciless colonial army, a terrifying tyrant, and a feared rebel leader. The first book in acclaimed author Heidi Heilig's Shadow Players trilogy blends traditional storytelling with ephemera for a lush, page-turning tale of escape and rebellion. For a Muse of Fire will captivate fans of Sabaa Tahir, Leigh Bardugo, and Renée Ahdieh. Jetta's family is famed as the most talented troupe of shadow players in the land. With Jetta behind the scrim, their puppets seem to move without string or stick--a trade secret, they say. In truth, Jetta can see the souls of the recently departed and bind them to the puppets with her blood. But ever since the colonizing army conquered their country, the old ways are forbidden. Jetta must never show, never tell. Her skill and fame are her family's way to earn a spot aboard the royal ship to Aquitan, where shadow plays are the latest rage, and where rumor has it the Mad King has a spring that cures his ills. Because seeing spirits is not the only thing that plagues Jetta. But as rebellion seethes and as Jetta meets a young smuggler, she will face truths and decisions that she never imagined--and safety will never seem so far away. Heidi Heilig creates a vivid, rich world inspired by Southeast Asian cultures and French colonialism. Told from Jetta's first-person point-of-view, as well as chapters written as play scripts and ephemera such as telegrams and letters, For a Muse of Fire is an engrossing journey that weaves magic, simmering romance, and the deep bonds of family with the high stakes of epic adventure. One girl's dangerous magic is the only thing standing between a colonial army and a people's rebellion. A Heroine with Dangerous Power: Jetta binds the souls of the dead to her shadow puppets, a forbidden art that could get her executed--or make her the most powerful player in a brewing war. Colonialism and Rebellion: In a nation inspired by Southeast Asian history and myth, a merciless colonial army battles the shadowy rebel leader known only as the Tiger. Jetta is caught in the crossfire. A Slow Burn Romance: She needs a way out. He's a smuggler with a hidden agenda. When Jetta meets the charismatic Leo, their alliance is as dangerous as the secrets they both keep. Unique Storytelling Format: Told not only in prose, but through play scripts, letters, and telegrams, this immersive fantasy plunges you directly into a world of magic and intrigue.…

The second book in Heidi Heilig's acclaimed Shadow Players trilogy blends traditional storytelling with ephemera to weave an enthralling fantasy that fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sabaa Tahir will sink into. Jetta is a wanted criminal. The army wants her for treason against the crown, for the sabotage of Hell's Court temple, and for the murder of General Legarde. They also want her for the power in her blood--the magic that captures wandering spirits to give life to puppets, to rocks, to paper . . . to weapons. They're willing to trade the elixir that treats Jetta's madness for the use of her blood. The rebels want her, too, to help them reclaim their country. Jetta may be the one who can tip the scales in this war. But Jetta fears using her power will make her too much like Le Trépas, the terrifying and tyrannical necromancer who once held all Chakrana under his thumb--and who is Jetta's biological father. She's already raised her brother from the dead, after all. And scared off Leo, the only person who saw her as she truly is. With Le Trépas at large and a clash between the army and the rebels becoming inevitable, Jetta will have to decide if saving her country is worth sacrificing her soul.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Jetta is in the center of a war. With her magical power, she could save everyone, save her country . . . or she could destroy it all. Heidi Heilig blends traditional storytelling with ephemera for a lush, page-turning commercial fantasy for fans of Tomi Adeyemi and Leigh Bardugo. The final book in the acclaimed Shadow Players trilogy. Jetta's home is spiraling into civil war. Le Trépas--the deadly necromancer--has used his blood magic to wrest control of the country, and Jetta has been without treatment for her malheur for weeks. Meanwhile, Jetta's love interest, brother, and friend are intent on infiltrating the palace to stop the Boy King and find Le Trépas to put an end to the unleashed chaos. The sweeping conclusion to Heidi Heilig's ambitious trilogy takes us to new continents, introduces us to new gods, flings us into the middle of palace riots and political intrigue, and asks searching questions about power and corruption. Acclaimed author Heidi Heilig creates a rich world inspired by Southeast Asian cultures and French colonialism. Told from Jetta's first-person point-of-view, as well as with chapters written as play scripts and ephemera such as songs, myths, and various forms of communication, On This Unworthy Scaffold is a satisfying finale to the epic fantasy trilogy. It will thrill readers who love Claire Legrand's Furyborn, Laini Taylor's Strange the Dreamer, and N. K. Jemisin's The Fifth Season. With a brutal war raging and an enemy necromancer pulling the strings, can Jetta master her own dangerous power before it consumes everything she loves? A Morally Grey Heroine: Jetta's necromancy is her country's only hope, but without her elixir, her own power--her 'malheur'--threatens to destroy everything she's fighting to protect. Epic Trilogy Conclusion: The final, page-turning installment of the acclaimed Shadow Players trilogy, where every alliance will be tested and the fate of a nation hangs in the balance. Intricate Magic System: Discover a world of shadow players and necromancers, where forbidden magic can raise the dead--or create an unstoppable army of corpses. Southeast Asian-Inspired World: Immerse yourself in a lush fantasy setting shaped by rich cultural traditions and the scars of French colonialism, featuring a unique story structure with play scripts, letters, and songs.…
