The high stakes of The Hunger Games meets the rich magical setting of Caraval and the ensemble cast of Six of Crows in this heart-pounding YA fantasy, set in a magical circus in Belle Époque Paris.

Falan is determined to take revenge on the circus's ringmaster for her sister's death – but first she must survive a series of deadly rounds in the annual Game of Oaths tournament.

Trapeze artist Falan Sunkara is a contracted performer for Paris's famous magical circus, le Cirque des Ombres. Le Cirque is ruled by Jean-Pierre, ringmaster and Enchanteur, one of the few magicians in the city legally allowed to use magic for entertainment. But the glamour of the circus is just another illusion. Each year, twelve members must compete in the Game of Oaths, a brutal tournament watched by the city's elite. Only one will survive. Last year, Falan's sister was one of the unlucky eleven. This year, Falan is out for revenge.
