Jester

by Brielle D. Porter

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: YA Fantasy with Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

What happens in Oasis, stays in Oasis.

Lisette’s father killed the King. His execution leaves Lisette alone, disgraced, and without the magic he intended to pass on to her. In Oasis, that’s a problem. Glutted with enchanted performers, Oasis is a sin city where courtiers pay in gold to drink, gamble, and above all, be entertained. To survive on its competitive streets, Lisette peddles paltry illusions in place of magic.

Desperate to prove herself, Lisette enters into a deadly competition to be chosen as the highest-ranked magician in the world, the Queen’s Jester. But her rival, the irritatingly handsome Luc, possesses the one thing Lisette does not―real magic. Lisette will do anything to win, but when evidence implicating the Queen in her husband’s murder surfaces, Lisette must choose between redeeming her family name, or seizing the fame she’s hungered for her entire life.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:

Turning away from the mermaids, I make my way to the front desk, praying Bale, manager of the Shipwreck, is off duty. Unfortunately for me, I haven’t had good luck for longer than I can remember, so I steel myself for the worst.

But the woman at the desk is new, dark hair pulled back into a shining clamshell clip and a worried look on her pretty face. I force a haughty expression, the kind most of the patrons here are wearing, and slam my hand on the heavy gold bell, even though she’s right in front of me.

She jumps and eyes me, taking in my worn and filthy costume and unkempt hair.

“I’d like to check into my suite early,” I say, drumming my fingers on the gleaming countertop, scanning the room as if everything in it displeases me. Still, the receptionist hesitates, not buying either my look or my tone. Time to seal the deal.

“After suffering a wretched bout of motion sickness through the canyon, I certainly hope your establishment proves itself worthy of my husband, John Ellington’s, patronage.”

This gets her attention.

“Of course, madam. We’ve been expecting you both.”

I cover my mouth as if yawning, hiding the relief that gusts out of me. The name was a crapshoot; John Ellington, oil baron and notorious gambling addict, visits Oasis often and always seems to have a reserved room. Thanks to the many holes pockmarking the desert from his drills, he has neither a shortage of gold nor new wives.

AUTHOR BIO:

Brielle D. Porter decided to become a writer after a well-meaning elementary school teacher told her she had a gift for it. Stolen moments under the covers reading anything from Harry Potter to William Goldman solidified the desire to tell stories herself one day. Jester is her debut novel.

Brielle lives with her husband and three sons on a lavender farm in Northern Idaho. When she’s not writing, she can be found running and beekeeping. Only ask her about her hobbies if you have plenty of time to spare.
