Overview
Caught in a war between the rebels and the invading colonizers, Jetta must make an impossible choiceāsave her people or protect her sanity.
The second book in Heidi Heiligās 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 Hellās Court temple, and for the murder of General Legarde. They also want her for the power in her bloodāthe magic that captures wandering spirits to give life to puppets, to rocks, to paper . . . to weapons. Theyāre willing to trade the elixir that treats Jettaās 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 Trepas, the terrifying and tyrannical necromancer who once held all Chakrana under his thumbāand who is Jettaās biological father. Sheās 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 Trepas 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.
Acclaimed author Heidi Heilig creates aĀ rich world inspired by Southeast Asian cultures and French colonialism. Told from Jettaās first-person point-of-view, as well as chapters written as play scripts, and ephemera such as songs, maps, and letters,Ā A Kingdom for a StageĀ is a vivid, fast-paced journey that weaves magic, simmering romance, and the deep bonds of family with the high stakes of epic adventure. It will thrillĀ fans of Stephanie Garber and RenĆ©e Ahdieh.
