On the coal-choked island of Luisonn, the tyrannical Stav Regime breeds rebellion among the working class. Firin, a face-changing con artist trained by her domineering father, dances between fake lives to escape punishment for her crimes—until armed rebels topple the regime. With freedom finally within her grasp, she discovers one of the heroes is her former lover, Bregan, who introduced her to her second love: the theater.

Olivia has magical dreams. High up on Bramhall Hill sits a large, lonely old mansion called Nichols Hall. In Victorian Portland, Mrs. Nichols has elevated her social status from poor actress to wealthy widow. Her daydreamy daughter Olivia tries to cheer the gloomy house by filling its rooms with flowers from her glass conservatory. She reads Shakespeare passages and pretends she's Titania, queen of the fairies. In her world, she's a star on the stage. But what of reality?

Luisonn’s citizens are finally united, but they don’t see the monster behind President Hulei’s lies. Firin does. He destroyed her life and turned the only man she’s ever loved against her. Now presumed dead, she resurfaces with a new face and a thirst for vengeance. The president must die. Bregan lost everything to rebellion and betrayal: his family, his theater, and now Firin. When gruesome murders rise in the city’s shadows—with many of the victims children—and clues implicate the president, Bregan starts investigating.
