Jetta is in the center

of a war. With her magical power, she could save everyone, save her country . .

. or she could destroy it all.

Heidi Heilig blends

traditional storytelling with ephemera for a lush, page-turning commercial

fantasy for fans of Tomi Adeyemi and Leigh Bardugo.

The final book in the

acclaimed Shadow Players trilogy.

Jetta’s

home is spiraling into civil war. Le Trépas—the deadly necromancer—has used his

blood magic to wrest control of the country, and Jetta has been without

treatment for her malheur for weeks. Meanwhile, Jetta’s love interest, brother,

and friend are intent on infiltrating the palace to stop the Boy King and find

Le Trépas to put an end to the unleashed chaos.

The

sweeping conclusion to Heidi Heilig’s ambitious trilogy takes us to new

continents, introduces us to new gods, flings us into the middle of palace

riots and political intrigue, and asks searching questions about power and

corruption.

Acclaimed

author Heidi Heilig creates a rich world inspired by Southeast Asian cultures

and French colonialism. Told from Jetta’s first-person point-of-view, as well

as with chapters written as play scripts and ephemera such as songs, myths, and

various forms of communication, On This Unworthy Scaffold is a

satisfying finale to the epic fantasy trilogy. It will thrill readers who love

Claire Legrand’s Furyborn, Laini Taylor’s Strange the

Dreamer, and N. K. Jemisin’s The Fifth Season.
