The Painted Woman by Victoria Parra
English | 2024 | Sci-Fi & Fantasy
A dance cloaked in mystery. A rebellion fueled by the heart. A union that could shake the foundations of an empire.
As a painted woman, Sigrid’s life is a delicate balance between the sacred and the profane, a dance on the edge of societal norms and personal desires.
Her carefully woven world frays at the edges when a charismatic rebel leader steeped in chaos enters her life. His presence stirs more than the winds of change; it kindles a flame within Sigrid, awakening a passion that defies the strictures of her role.
As turmoil engulfs their land, an intricate game of power and rebellion unfolds. Sigrid finds herself thrust into the heart of the uprising, her fate intertwined with the rebellious stranger. Can love bloom in the shadows of war?
Sigrid’s world is a dance of intrigue and unspoken yearnings, set against the backdrop of a society on the brink of upheaval. “The Painted Woman” is a resonant tale of hidden strength and revolutionary love, with world building and fantasy reminiscent of Jacqueline Carey’s “Kushiel’s Dart” and A.K. Mulford’s “The Five Crowns of Okrith.”
