At eighteen, Etienne Mercier shouldn't have to worry about being hunted in the streets of Paris. To survive, he cons people with games of chance, hoping no one will discover the truth his grown-out hair hides--he is Fae. Baron Weaver knows, though, and when Etienne tries to con the man, he's the one who gets surprised.
Etienne flees to escape the Baron, but soon realizes he's not being chased for the reason he thinks. The Baron offers him and once-in-a-lifetime chance--the opportunity to work in Cirque de la Tempete as an aerialist.
Jumping at the chance to earn an honest living, Etienne never expects to find what he lacked all along--a purpose and a family--especially when he meets Lili. But Lili has plans of her own, and together, Etienne finds himself taking his biggest--and deadliest--risk yet.
Care for a game of chance? Step right up!
Perfect for fans of Caraval by Stephanie Garber, Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, and Immortal Circus by A.R. Kahler
