Book Two of the Painted Carnival Saga
Leo thought he was chosen. He was wrong.
Now crowned Keeper of the Spiral, Leo must confront the truth of his origin and face the fractured echoes of past carnivals. Guided by the Painted Ones and the Forgotten, he descends into the Hollow Tent-a realm of broken joy and looping madness-to find the First, the prototype he was meant to replace.
But redemption isn't easy. The Spiral demands sacrifice. And a prophecy warns of a deeper threat: the Buried King.
With the Carnival Beneath healing and the world above watching, Leo must choose between power, peace, and purpose. Because the Spiral doesn't need a ruler.
It needs a voice.
Perfect for fans of twisted fantasy, surreal worlds, and stories where laughter hides the deepest scars.
