Magic at the Grand Dragonfly Theatre
Welcome to the Grand Dragonfly Theatre.

Violet Ashmore is an aspiring playwright who lives in her sister’s shadow. While Iris performs onstage, Violet hides forbidden magic. Should anyone discover the powers she’s hidden her whole life, she would be conscripted to fight in the same war that stole away their parents years ago.

Iris Ashmore is a starlet who longs for a bigger stage than her uncle’s theatre, but she swore to protect her sister from the Crown. Without powers of her own, the best way she can do that is through the clever deception of sleight-of-hand tricks, pulling the spotlight away from Violet with dazzling performances.

Alec Morgan owes a debt to a bounty hunter. To remain free, he must infiltrate the mysterious Grand Dragonfly Theatre and discover its secrets. But his mission becomes more complicated as Alec falls for the leading lady, while learning there is more to the theatre, and the sisters, than meets the eye.

For readers who enjoy Caraval by Stephanie Garber, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles, and Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor.
