The Emperor's JesterIn a court where laughter is a weapon and silence can kill, one fool holds the fate of an empire. Jareth is no ordinary jester. Beneath his painted smile and jingling bells lies a keen mind, trained to see what others miss. In the lavish court of Emperor Aldric, where every smile hides a blade and every toast could be poisoned, Jareth survives by pretending to be the fool everyone believes him to be. But when he overhears a secret that could topple the empire-a plot to assassinate the emperor himself-he finds himself caught in a deadly trap. Bound by a sacred vow of silence, forbidden to betray what he has heard, Jareth must walk a razor-thin line between loyalty and treason. With only his wit, his disguise, and the power of performance, Jareth must outmaneuver cunning traitors, deliver a warning no one knows he carries, and protect a ruler who may not even trust him. Because in a court ruled by secrets, even the fool must learn how to play the game. A gripping tale of intrigue, deception, and the fine line between comedy and tragedy, The Emperor's Jester is perfect for fans of political thrillers, medieval drama, and unlikely heroes who fight with words as sharp as swords.
