Masquerade of Finches

By Elizabeth Hopkinson

A vow to an archangel. A web of unspoken love. A commission that could shatter it all.

Two years ago, Tammo and Carlo saved Celestina's life-and bound themselves in a sacred vow to the Archangel Michael. Now, Tammo's rare gift as a bird-charmer has made him a favorite of the nobility, and Carlo's voice is taking Angelio's opera world by storm. But beneath beauty and success, tangled feelings churn between the three of them: love, duty, and truths too long unspoken.

When the alluring and dangerous Marchesa della Pamina offers Tammo a commission, it sets off a chain of betrayals that threatens to unravel their bond and expose Carlo's secret.

Set in a lush, operatic world of masks, angels, and forbidden longing, Masquerade of Finches is a story of courage, found family, and queer identity-featuring a tender portrayal of an asexual, nonbinary eunuch at its heart.
