OPTIONED FOR FILM by Amazon MGM Studios

The gods are dead. All that's left are the Players...

The performers of the Playhouse are as worshipped as they are feared, their enchanting shows bending hearts, minds, and even reality itself. Vicious, godlike, lethal. Eighteen-year-old Riven Hesper knows the dangers better than anyone, after her own encounter with a Player resulted in a curse that is slowly killing her.

When the Playhouse announces the spectacle of a lifetime--a chance for one mortal to steal a Player's immortality--Riven sees her last chance to live. Desperate for answers, she infiltrates the competition. There, she finds Jude, the Playhouse's brilliant, merciless Lead Player, whose charm is as dangerous as his Craft, and strikes a deadly bargain to save her life.

But with time running out and the Playhouse's secrets unraveling into a disturbing picture, Riven faces a grim possibility: she might not be the hero of her story after all. In fact, she may be the villain.

Because the Playhouse doesn't just tell stories. It rewrites them.

And Riven's might end in blood.

Caraval meets One Dark Window in this lush and dark romantasy.

Lovely Shoes
Size: 8.5, Color: Nude/Nubuck
These were a gift. I understand they are "slightly" wide at the toes but fit otherwise. The color & heel height were exactly as desired. She felt the traction was also very good. I look forward to seeing her wear them to her son's wedding!

Wedding Guest Shoe
Size: 6.5, Color: Silver/Glitter
True to size. Very true 6.5 in most all of my shoes. I thought the fit was great but after wearing for a little bit they are horrible. The glitter goes down a little too far on the back and rubs the heel. The sides of your toes will hurt after a little bit of wearing them. Super cute shoes and I toughed it out because they looked great but definitely not the most comfortable shoes.

These shoes are adorable but they run large
Size: 11, Color: Champagne
Dream Pairs Low Chunk Heel Size 11 Color These shoes are absolutely gorgeous. The beautiful champagne color shines so exquisitely in the light. They are very shiny and somewhat sparkly. They are definitely eye catching. Style These shoes are great looking, rather sharp. I appreciate the chunky heel design which goes with many outfits from dresses, pants, and jumpers. Size I usually wear a size 11 shoe, sometimes a 10.5 depending on how they run, but these run large in length. I could have easily bought a size 10 for the length of the shoe. My left foot is smaller than the right foot so usually the right foot fits more snug. I definitely still had room in the back for the right foot, but of course, even more room in the back for the left foot. In terms of the width, the toe strap very well accommodates wider toe boxes, as the straps fit properly right out of the box, but the arch of the shoe is a little narrow. Nothing too noticeable but the fit of the shoe is a little odd. Versatility I find that these shoes can be worn with many different styles and outfits, and can go with dressy or casual clothing. The variety of matching outfits is not limited. Comfort These shoes are very comfortable to wear and walk in. Overall, I recommend these shoes
