Seeing is believing in the Dark Circus, where truth and illusion collide, and where the heart of a holy conspiracy pounds Her name is L. Raised by her uncle in a threadbare circus, she lived by the twisted rules of the carnies she grew up with. Exploited for public awe, and ritually abused for private pleasure, L came to endure all that was encouraged by the circus's perverted sense of righteousness.
Debauchery is the only thing she trusts. But behind the curtains of the Dark Circus is a greater secret to be avenged. As their worlds of sacrilege and devotion collide, so do temptation and indulgence--and a faith in both good and evil, where morality is just another illusion. Three years ago, an odd teenage trio from small town Spoonersville entered a twisted theme park known as the Dark Circus.
With their own gifts of magic, freakiness, and the ability to control animals, the three were able to survive its madness. Also, by allying themselves with the inhuman misfits that live there, the teens were able to defeat psycho Charlie, the circus' only clown. However, during those three years of quiet bliss, Charlie plans his revenge in the spirit world. It's on the night of the senior Halloween Carnival that the clown makes his Astounding Return before all of Spoonersville.
If that wasn't enough, the trio must face off with three newcomers to their town who also demonstrate powers given to them by the Dark Circus. Spanning Jazz Age Paris to modern-day American, The Ladies of the Secret Circus is a decadent and magical tale of family secrets and lost love set against the backdrop of an extraordinary circus from the author of A Witch in Time.
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.
