Julia Trencher has died. Twice. But Geppetto's Circus of Strange Marvels offers hope of others like her-a place she could be welcomed, celebrated even. She didn't know it would lead to herself and the circus vanishing amidst a mysterious fire.
Now, all that remains are the historical circus wagons at the edge of town and a darkness that a young man Max can't seem to shake. As Max investigates the enchanted circus claims and the Trenchers abandoned mansion, the line between villains and sidekicks blurs, and revealing the circus' secrets may come at the cost of confronting his own.
