Sinopse

On the surface, the Circus of Dreams travels around the Continent of Eiliron entertaining the people of the seven kingdoms with their frivolity and sleights of hand. 

But beloved ringmaster and head puppeteer, Master Jeskil, is soon manipulating more than puppet strings when he is drawn into a wicked plot of greed and desire in the kingdom of Corraçao.

After years of marriage, the King and Queen of Hearts have no heir: a fact not lost on the King’s first counselor, Vikar Revin, who hears the court’s gossips whispering in the shadows, forming factions of allegiance, and plotting treasonous schemes. 

At the heart of these conspiracies is the charming and ambitious Roxanna Talian of Feracia who has set her sights on replacing the Queen. 

In spite of the mounting evidence of malign influences from outside as well as within, Revin is determined to protect Corraçao. With the help of his cousin Jeskil, and some wholly unexpected allies, Revin must find a way to thwart the enemies of the state and preserve whatever he can of the crippled Corraçian monarchy. 

Magic, love, death, and intrigue beset the kingdom – the effects of which ripple through the generations to come.

    And yet I can’t seem to keep my panties on for five minutes when we’re alone together. He keeps melting them right off. With that sexy voice, those confident hands, the way he brings my body wildly to life, he’s proved my libido hasn’t gone into permanent, post-divorce hibernation after all.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Bestselling author John Riley has made a career out of turning quiet Alabama towns into the backdrops for unforgettable nightmares. His novels sell by the hundreds of thousands, and his name draws long lines at book signings. But the stories he creates on the page have consequences beyond ink and paper. Neighbors curse him for turning their houses into tourist attractions. Strangers confront him in restaurants. Fans linger too close, blurring the line between admiration and obsession. 
    When John finishes his latest and most ambitious novel, he hopes the story will be just another addition to his growing shelf of successes. But the moment he steps away from his desk, the shadows in his fiction begin to bleed into his own life. What starts as uncomfortable encounters escalates into a chilling sense that someone has decided to make John the character in a story he never wanted to write. 
    Final Chapter is a taut, atmospheric thriller that weaves the love of family, the burden of success, and the creeping danger of blurred boundaries into a story that asks: what happens when the monsters we imagine refuse to stay on the page?
