Discover the million-copy bestselling fantasy read.

The circus arrives without warning.  It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.

Against the grey sky the towering tents are striped black and white.  A sign hanging upon an iron gate reads:

Opens at Nightfall
Closes at Dawn

Full of breath-taking amazements and open only at night, Le Cirque des Rêves seems to cast a spell over all who wander its circular paths.  But behind the glittering acrobats, fortune-tellers and contortionists a fierce competition is underway.

Celia and Marco are two young magicians who have been trained since childhood for a deadly duel.  With the lives of everyone at the Circus of Dreams at stake, they must test the very limits of the imagination, and of their love.
