Synopsis

A magical story spanning from Jazz Age Paris to modern-day America, full of family secrets, sacrifice, lost love, and a mysterious circus, from the author of A Witch in Time.

"Fans of Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus will love this page-turning story of dark magic, star-crossed love, and familial sacrifice." ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

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 until her fiancé disappears on their wedding day. When her desperate search for answers unexpectedly leads to her great-grandmother’s journals, Lara is swept into a story of a dark circus and ill-fated love.Soon secrets about Lara’s family history begin to come to light, revealing 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 disappearance

"A mesmerizing tale of love, treachery, and depraved magic percolating through four generations of Cabot women." ―Luanne G. Smith, author of The Vine Witch
