Description

At the Carnival, wishes can lift you high—or let you fall.

Missy was born for the spotlight—strong, stubborn, and dazzling on center stage. But after one horrifying night in the Carnival, everything changes.

The Carnival no longer feels like home. Shadows and suspicion lurk everywhere, and the people who used to surround her with love, now look at her with doubt and uncertainty.

When a charming outsider offers her a way out, it seems like a dream come true. A new avant-garde circus in California promises freedom, fame, and the spotlight she craves.

But in the magical circus world, nothing is ever what it seems. What was supposed to be her big break becomes a waking nightmare. Trapped in a prison of her own making, Missy is blackmailed into performing curse magic, the worst crime of all in the magical world.

With her freedom gone and her pride in tatters, Missy can only hope the family she pushed aside will come looking. But will they find her in time… or has the Carnival already lost one of its brightest stars?

A heart-pounding tale of dark enchantments, found family, and a fierce heroine reclaiming her power. Step back into the world of the Dark Carnival—where loyalty runs deep, and the magic always comes at a price.
