How many lives they have lived, if only for a night! Puppets and peril, lonely streets and glittering salons--Rupert and Istvan have played through it all, and sought to make the road their lasting home. But that road winds through the past--including the brothel called the Rose and Poppy--while threats and invitations abound: a scheming social climber, a lovesick exile, the Mercury Theatre closed . . . or is it? Old friends from afar join comrades in the here-and-now, as power, love, and fate combine to play out the final chapter of the story of a lifetime. The curtains rose with UNDER THE POPPY, the passionate play continued in THE MERCURY WALTZ. Now Kathe Koja brings the POPPY trilogy to a stunning and masterful conclusion in THE BASTARDS' PARADISE. "The final act in a grand epic: I loved this book. It broke my heart and made me cry, but it also made me grin, and shake my head, and turn the pages faster . . . Koja is a phenomenal writer." - Cat Hellisen, author of BEASTKEEPER |
