They call me jester, dancer, trickster, lover.
I exist to entertain.
But behind my sideways smiles, my quick hands and magicians tricks, I trade in their lies, their secrets. I know their deepest desires, their wicked schemes. Their sins are my currency.
The Court of Love is a card castle, and I hold the card that’s about to bring it all down.
And they say I’m the fool…
