Seventeen-year-old Evelyn has spent her life trapped beneath the crushing weight of her mother's cruelty and a town that mistakes obedience for holiness. When the truth of who she is is finally exposed, Evelyn is forced to run into the dark woods with nothing but the clothes on her back and the certainty that she can never return.
But the night doesn't lead her to death.
It leads her to a circus.
Hidden beyond the edges of ordinary towns, the circus is filled with performers who are far more than they appear-women who command fire, bodies marked with living ink, wings grown from pain, and mirrors that reveal the truths people spend their lives trying to bury.
They call themselves a family.
They call her The Girl in Smoke.
As Evelyn begins to discover the magic burning beneath her skin, she must confront the question that will define her future:
Is she the broken girl the world tried to destroy
or the flame it was always meant to fear?
