A spellbinding new novel blending horror, fantasy, romance and mystery - from the author of A Witch in Time and The Ladies of the Secret Circus
"Paris, 1925: To enter the Secret Circus is to enter a world of wonder - a world where women weave illusions of magnificent beasts, carousels take you back in time, and trapeze artists float across the sky. Bound to her family's circus, it's the only world Cecile Cabot knows until she meets a charismatic young painter and embarks on a passionate affair that could cost her everything... Virginia, 2004: Lara Barnes is on top of the world, but when her fiancé disappears on their wedding day every plan she has for the future comes crashing down. Desperate, Lara's search for answers unexpectedly lead to her great-grandmother's journals. Swept into a story of a dark circus and ill-fated love, secrets about Lara's family history come to light and reveal a curse that has been claiming payment from the women in her family for generations. A curse that might be tied to her fiancé's mysterious fate"--Publisher.
Paříž, 1925: Vstoupit do Tajného cirkusu znamená vstoupit do světa zázraků – světa, kde ženy krotí nádherná zvířata, kolotoče vás přenesou do minulosti a artisté na visutých hrazdách se vznášejí po obloze. Každý odvážný kousek však něco stojí. Cecile Cabotová, spjatá s podivným a kouzelným cirkusem své rodiny, zná jen tento svět – dokud nepotká charismatického mladého malíře a nezaplete se do vášnivého milostného vztahu, který ji může stát všechno. Virginia, 2005: Laře Barnesové patří celý svět – dokud její snoubenec nezmizí ve svatební den. Zoufalé hledání odpovědí ji nečekaně zavede k deníkům její prababičky a vtáhne ji do příběhu o temném cirkusu a rodové kletbě, která si od žen v její rodině po generace vybírá svou daň.
