Summary
A magical con artist and an actor turned revolutionary fight for freedom in an atmospheric fantasy debut where layered secrets and daring love clash on a stage of war.
On the coal-choked island of Luisonn, the tyrannical Stav Regime breeds rebellion among the working class. Firin, a face-changing con artist trained by her domineering father, dances between fake lives to escape punishment for her crimes—until armed rebels topple the regime. With freedom finally within her grasp, she discovers one of the heroes is her former lover, Bregan, who introduced her to her second love: the theater.
As the flames of revolt settle, Firin joins Bregan on the stage. She’s determined to create a life with the honorable man she never forgot. But like the past, love and truth are hard to hide—especially when one of Firin’s victims, now president, chooses Bregan as his right-hand man. Haunted by the sacrifices of revolution and devoted to the new government’s success, Bregan quickly rises in its ranks…
In a web of war and false identities, Firin must choose a side. But is the price of freedom her heart?

Critic reviews
“A steamy, epic romance with two backdrops—a revolution and the theater—that somehow work perfectly together. I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series, and I cannot wait for both fantasy and romance lovers to fall for this book!”—Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis
“Masterfully straddling the line of scathing critique and hopeful beacon Golden weaves past and present to build to a heart-pounding conclusion that will enrapture genre fans. Behind the Crimson Curtain anchors Golden as a standout new talent whose lyrical, historically-informed prose is perfect for readers who love their fantasy razor sharp.”—J. Elle, New York Times bestselling author of House of Marionne
