| 520 | |a The Prestige meets What If It's Us in Before We Disappear, a queer ahistorical fantasy set during the 1909 Seattle Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition, where the two assistants of two ambitious magicians find themselves falling in love amidst a bitter rivalry designed to tear them apart. Jack Nevin's clever trickery and moral flexibility have served him well his entire life-making him the perfect assistant to the Enchantress, one of the most well-known stage magicians in early-twentieth-century Europe. Without Jack's steady supply of stolen tricks and copycat sleight-of-hand illusions, the Enchantress's fame would have burned out long ago-not that she would ever admit it. But when they're forced to flee the continent for America, the Enchantress finds a new audience in Seattle at the 1909 Alaska–Yukon–Pacific World's Fair Exposition. She and Jack are set to make a fortune until a new magician arrives on the scene. Performing tricks that defy the imagination, Laszlo's act threatens to overshadow the Enchantress and co-opt her audience. Jack has no choice but to hunt for the secrets behind Laszlo's otherworldly illusions-but what he uncovers isn't at all what he expected. What makes Laszlo's tricks possible is, unbelievably, a boy that can seemingly perform real magic. Wilhelm's abilities defy all the laws of physics. His talents are no clever sleights-of-hand. But even though Laszlo and Wilhelm's act threatens to destroy the life Jack and the Enchantress have built, Jack and Wilhelm have near-instant connection. As the rivalry between the Enchantress and Laszlo grows increasingly dangerous and dire, Jack finds he has to choose between the woman who gave him a life and the boy who is offering him love. It's a new star-crossed romance about the magic of first love from acclaimed author Shaun David Hutchinson. | ||
