Join debut author Shannon J. Spann as she chats about her debut A Stage Set for Villains to fellow author A.S. Webb.
Riven Hesper is running out of time. Cursed by a Player—a godlike performer —she must infiltrate the Playhouse and find a way to break the curse before it kills her.
But inside survival comes at a price. Mortals must compete for a chance to kill a Player and steal their power. Riven wants nothing to do with this until Jude—charismatic and cruel —makes her an offer. Win the competition. Spare his life. And he’ll set her free.
As the final act approaches, Riven faces a devastating truth. She might not become the hero of this story. But the villain.
