Avery’s Ghost: A Circus Historical Fantasy Novel (The Shimmering Circus Book 1)

Description

When Evelyn is accidentally poisoned, her only hope for an antidote is to sign the curious contract of Hart’s Traveling Circus—the same place her brother vanished before her birth.

But why do the performers lie about their uncanny performances? And what caused the “hideous” scars of Essence, the sideshow freak who draws portraits so vivid they nearly leap from the page? Terrified by the tempestuous Manager Hart, Evelyn discovers she cannot leave. Undeterred, she’ll cajole and blackmail her way to the truth—catapulting her into the crossfire of a plot with explosive consequences.

Featuring illustrations in the style of vintage circus posters, Avery’s Ghost throws readers into a macabre world of secrets and magic, set against the evocative backdrop of a Gilded Age circus.
