Romance book about queer court jesters or circus performers?
I really want a historical or fantasy romance book about court jesters or circus performers, especially if it’s sapphic or has gender queer characters, maybe this is wayyy too niche but I just really wish it existed 😭
This is honestly a stretch, but you could try *Masks (The Lord Jester’s Legacy Book 1)* by E.M. Prazeman. It’s set in a fantasy world that somewhat resembles Age of Sail/Napoleonic England. “Jesters” are a sort of combination of jester/advisor/spy/assassin, who pair with nobles and help them carry out or protect them against plots and intrigue. The main character falls into the role when he gets thrown into deep waters with an alliance with a handsome nobleman and political machinations (and of course, the forbidden romance building between the two of them.)
You’ve probably already had The Night Circus and Caraval recommended to you, and as far as I know they’re both straight romances anyway (and I only ever read half The Night Circus so I can’t even speak to the quality of either with any expertise) but on the off chance just you really want any circus themed fantasy romances even if it’s het, there they are.
