"Never show. Never tell. Jetta's secret has kept her family from starving. It has made them the most famed troupe of shadow players in Chakrana. For with a drop of blood, Jetta can bind wandering spirits to the silk or wood or leather of their puppets and bring them to life. But the old ways are forbidden. If anyone discovered her ability, Jetta could be thrown in prison and left to rot--or worse. As rebellion swells and desperation builds, Jetta's power becomes harder and harder to hide. Especially from Leo, the young smuggler with sharp eyes and secrets of his own. When he and Jetta capture the notice of both the army and the rebels, she may be the spark that lights the rebellion ... if she isn't consumed by the flame first."--Back cover
