CROWN OF STOLEN FEELING

Celeste Ardent has felt nothing since the crown emptied her as a child. Before dawn, dream acrobat Vienne must awaken a feeling, perfumer Luc must tint it, maskmaker Emil must hold it, and Celeste must decide whether it becomes city law. Their first circuit spreads rebellion through the carnival. While the four turn seductive trials into an investigation, masks reveal a buried massacre and the crown reveals a living emotional copy of Celeste’s mother.

Three rivals must awaken an emotionless heiress before dawn—but every feeling she chooses becomes law for an entire carnival city.
