The Starling Revival by Peter Fekete - A Novel of Fate, Debts, and Theatrical Magic.Connor O'Brian never planned to run from the mob, but when his latest play tanked, he found himself owing a very large sum to a very unpleasant man. With few options, he flees to Ballyhoo, a sleepy Irish village where the biggest crime is sheep-related loitering. But Ballyhoo has a peculiar way of keeping people exactly where they're meant to be. Hiding out isn't easy when his only refuge is The Starling Theatre-a crumbling relic that hums with forgotten magic, its stage whispering secrets and a ghostly fiddle tune that won't leave him alone.Maeve, a force of nature, ropes him into saving the failing theatre alongside a chaotic cast of misfits. As rehearsals spiral into madness, props misbehave, and unseen hands seem to guide his fate, Connor must decide whether to keep running or finally take centre stage. The Starling Revival is a tale of fate, theatre, and the undeniable truth that sometimes, the thing you're running from is actually destiny calling.
