In the gritty city of Dusk, seventeen-year-old Irina makes her living as the street magician Bantheir’s assistant.

But Irina’s world is shattered the night she is arrested and charged as Bantheir’s accomplice to murder—murder by magic. Real magic, the kind that’s been forbidden since the old wars. Irina finds the idea of flashy showman Bantheir using actual magic to kill someone laughable, but she’s the only one who sees how ridiculous the claim is. But how can she convince everyone Bantheir is innocent when they’ve already made up their minds? Desperate, Irina must decide who she can trust to help her win her freedom. Is the surly, handsome Captain Leonid telling the truth when he says he believes Irina is innocent, or is he just using her to get to Bantheir? What about Aden, the sweet soldier and longtime fan of Irina’s who claims he’s on her side? Irina said she wanted to know the truth, but when she stumbles across a dark secret that changes everything, will she be strong enough to survive?

Glisten x Connie fanfic "smoke and mirrors" -noun [plural] - the obscuring or embellishing of the truth of a situation, often by diverting one's attention with false and misleading information. In a world surrounded by so many talents, it can feel natural to lie about one's abilities or personality to fit in. Quite ironically, in an attempt to fit in, such lies only serve to hinder any real personal connections from being developed. When you have lived a lie for so long that your true self has been hidden completely, who can you turn to when you need to talk? Glisten and Connie are two toons with false personas, lying about their talents and achievements, pretending to be who they are not. This shared struggle of theirs causes them to become more than friends, as they rely on each other to brave through tough times. Cover art & Story by stereoinsomnia (me! :D)
