Slay the Stage
The Love & Loot Series, Book 2
By Jaz Pate
This isn’t your average deathmatch—it’s opening night
You’re Seraphina Belladonna—bard, rogue, elf, disaster in eyeliner.
When a glitter-sealed invitation whisks you off to the Harmony Jubilee, you expect applause. Maybe even a record deal.
What you get instead? A trap.
The village is empty. And now you’re stuck in a divine deathmatch where survival is the opening act.
Good news: you’ve teamed up with another contestant—a paladin named Izzy who can smite evil and stir up a mean soup.
Bad news: the God hosting this mess thinks you’re not headliner material.
To escape, you’ll need more than luck. More than charm. You’ll have to slay.
