Cora Glass’s humdrum existence as a bank teller flips upside down when a long-abandoned circus mysteriously returns to life. But the entry fee to this big top show is far more than Cora bargained for.
A deal struck.
A soul…stuck.
When Cora walks through “The Dark Path,” she unknowingly offers a taste of herself to the ravenous magic that keeps Harrow Faire alive. Now she’s caught the eye of Simon Waite—the dangerously seductive Puppeteer who’s existed for over a century by consuming the essence of others.
With his silver threads and wicked smile, Simon wants to transform Cora into his newest masterpiece. But as the Faire itself begins whispering to her—something it has never done before—Cora discovers she’s at the center of a supernatural power struggle between Simon’s deadly obsession and the enigmatic Mr. Harrow’s sinister plans.
As Harrow Faire shines a spotlight on Cora, she uncovers far more secrets in this three-ring nightmare than she could possibly imagine. Caught between two immortal forces, Cora must find a way to break free before she becomes a permanent attraction.
Both parties will stop at nothing—even murder—to get what they want.
And what they want…is her.
