Summary:
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It
is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the
black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience
full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves,
and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce
competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and
Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this
purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is
a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but
the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite
themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a
deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow
warm whenever they so much as brush hands. True love or not, the game
must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of
extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance,
suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead. Written in
rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the
senses and the heart.
