Born in Eastwick, Ilonas lost his family to a fire he swears was no accident. That mystery, and the injustice of it, has haunted him ever since.  With only his wit, a rapier, and the violet glow of his Fey pact with Lady Thistle, he’s become a wandering performer whose dazzling illusions hide a darker edge.

 

Outlawed by the Church, tied to a resistance, and forever hunted by his past, Ilonas drifts from city to city—half charmer, half fugitive—seeking the truth behind the blaze that destroyed his life.

 

His greatest performance, though, is still unwritten—the day he unmasks the truth behind his family’s death, and exposes the secrets the Church has fought so hard to bury.
