A soul once pure. A war that stole everything she loved. Thorns grow where light once lived, twisting her soul with pain and grief. A fragment of her essence drifts into another, binding their fates in ways neither can yet understand. Secrets linger in the shadows, old misunderstandings fester, and destinies collide with consequences that could shatter them both. In a world where loyalty and betrayal walk hand in hand, even the smallest spark of light can ignite a storm.

Revels End
Wilmuh Tremblerod knew from a young age that she would become the world's greatest playwright. Unfortunately, the world, and her talent (or lack of it) disagreed. Until one day, Linus, a young and relatively untrained muse finds her in a bar and inspires her to great things. Of course, she isn't the person he intended inspiring, but everyone makes mistakes. With the subsequent loss of Linus' powers, Willmuh's ability to write compelling and mesmerising plays runs out of control and an alarming number of people decide that Wilmuh has become some literary god, meaning that her very creativity becomes a danger to the world. When a competition is announced to find the kingdom's greatest entertainers, Wilmuh chooses to use her new-found talents to seal her place in history. But with rival entertainers and people in authority rallying against her, Wilmuh may find it harder to achieve than she first thought, and her troupe of wayward and strange thespians may not be able to stop the world from falling under her accidental-spell. And there are faeries, too. But watch out for them, they're really shady. Contains a gratuitous and shameless parody of a Doctor Who episode. I'm not even sorry. The second novel of the ongoing Discworld inspired series.
