15-year-old Ori is an average small-town boy. Or so he thought, until a strange circus appears in his backyard. Accepting an acrobat's invitation to join the Cirque de Reverie, he is swept up in a whirlwind of wonder. Unbeknownst to him, the circus is not what it seems, and something dark lurks beneath its golden surface. Before, there are two sisters. When one runs away, the younger girl grapples with the grief and secrets her sister left behind. It is up to her to find a way to save her before it's too late. But in a circus that thrives on magic, mystery, and manipulation, that task might just be monumental. Freedom comes at a cost, and the price is paid by both friends and foes. Can Ori escape what has been set in the stars, or will he be trapped in the circus' snare forever?
