Glass Thorns: Touchstone (Book One) by Ms Melanie Rawn
Cayden Silversun is part Elven, part Fae, part human Wizard - and all rebel. His aristocratic mother would have him follow his father to the Royal Court, to make a high society living off the scraps of kings. But Cade lives and breathes for the theatre, and he's good - very, very good. With his company, he'll enter the highest reaches of society and power, as an honoured artist - or die trying.
