Her characters are equally complex and nuanced, including the bipolar heroine. Heidi Heilig creates a vivid, rich world inspired by Asian cultures and French colonialism.
But as rebellion seethes and as Jetta meets a young smuggler, she will face truths and decisions that she never imagined-and safety will never seem so far away. Because seeing spirits is not the only thing that plagues Jetta. Her skill and fame are her family’s way to earn a spot aboard the royal ship to Aquitan, where shadow plays are the latest rage, and where rumor has it the Mad King has a spring that cures his ills. But the old ways are forbidden ever since the colonial army conquered their country, so Jetta must never show, never tell. In truth, Jetta can see the souls of the recently departed and bind them to the puppets with her blood. With Jetta behind the scrim, their puppets seem to move without string or stick-a trade secret, they say. Jetta’s family is famed as the most talented troupe of shadow players in the land. For a Muse of Fire will captivate fans of Sabaa Tahir, Leigh Bardugo, and Renée Ahdieh.
