The Jester's Jest: A Romantasy of Courtly Comedy and Tragic Treason: Behind every laugh hides a truth, behind every jest—a secret

🎭 Jester Lyra hides a dangerous secret: her comedy masks her true identity as the last heir to a fallen magical house. Using laughter as her shield and wit as her weapon, she moves through the royal court gathering intelligence for the rebellion. Her main target is the Crown's ruthless spymaster, Kaelen, whose piercing eyes see through every deception—except her carefully crafted persona. When Lyra uncovers a plot to assassinate the king using forbidden magic, she must risk everything by revealing her truth to the very man sworn to destroy her kind. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they navigate a deadly dance of courtly intrigue where every joke holds a coded message and every laugh could be their last. As their pretend flirtation ignites into genuine passion, Lyra discovers Kaelen has secrets of his own—including a hidden loyalty that could save her people or destroy them both. In a court where truth is the most dangerous jest of all, two enemies must learn to trust before the final curtain falls on their kingdom.
