Hardback. Zustand: 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. In a world where her secrets could get her killed, can Jetta trust a charming smuggler to be her salvation? Unique Magic System: Jetta's shadow puppets move without strings, animated by the souls of the dead that she binds with her own blood. Southeast Asian Inspired Fantasy: A lush, page-turning world of shadow plays, rebellion, and French-inspired colonialism, drawing from the rich cultures of Southeast Asia. Mental Illness Representation: A powerful and poignant portrayal of a heroine battling her own mind--a condition her people call malheur--as she seeks a magical cure in a world that fears her. High-Stakes Epic Adventure: Told through prose, play scripts, and letters, Jetta's journey to save her family and herself is a tale of rebellion where safety is never guaranteed.…
