In the middle of the night between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day the circus appeared for the first time. It was no ordinary circus by any means, which was a feat already, as all circuses were rather unordinary.

Behind the curtains was an even more extraordinary troupe, and at the head of it all was the elusive Dreammonger. After a simple mistake, Sébastien de la Rue and his magical, extraordinary circus return to Paris – a place he swore to never return to.

The past he is running from catches up to him in the form of an invitation to Europe’s newest magical attraction: the Carnivale of Saints – a series of games in which the winner is granted a wish. With the circus gaining less attraction, a wicked game set in a world of demons, Paris’s Holy Soldiers after him, and a murderer on the loose, Sébastien must make a choice: play the game or let everything he created crumble.Come one, come all, to le Cirque de la Rue.
