London, 1851. The world is fading to gray, and so are its people. Their eye color dulling as they grow older and forget how to dream, hope, or live with honesty. In a colorless world, Adam has chosen to trust only one: a colorful tiger named Cali. Forced to leave his upper-class life behind, he signs a contract he may never escape and joins Circus Paraventi. But when Cali escapes, Adam must learn to rely on others to find her. Nikolay and Bella, two artists who haven't lost their eye color yet, are not only a great help but an even greater challenge. Their lightheartedness and refusal to take anything serious drive Adam to the brink. Especially Nikolai, with his grass-green eyes and frustratingly naive optimism. But something about them makes Adam lower his guard and feel more alive, which proves to be incredibly dangerous in a forest with a tiger on the loose.

„Ich hatte noch nie was mit Nikita." Gelächter, klirrende Gläser. Fast alle trinken - außer mir und meinen Freunden. Nikita wirkt unbeeindruckt, das Feuer taucht sein Gesicht in warmes Rot. Sein Lächeln bleibt ruhig, fast amüsiert, als könnte ihm keiner was anhaben. „Solltest du nicht auch trinken, Nika?" Seine Locken wippen, als er lächelnd den Kopf schüttelt. „Im Gegensatz zu dir muss ich's mir nicht selbst machen." ˜˜˜ Im Hansen-Zirkus verbreiten sich Gerüchte wie ein Lauffeuer. Und im Zentrum von allem: Nikita - Luftakrobat, Russe, der schönste Junge, den Josh je gesehen hat. Aufgewachsen in einem Umfeld, in dem Homosexualität nicht nur verboten, sondern eine Sünde ist, fühlt sich Josh hin- und hergerissen. Trotzdem kann er nicht aufhören, sich zu fragen: Wer ist Nikita wirklich, hinter all den Gerüchten? Und noch schlimmer - was, wenn er es herausfinden will? ~ Kleine Info: Ich habe das Buch auf Englisch schon fertig und das lief deutlich besser, deshalb werde ich die deutsche Version wohl erstmal nicht beenden. Schaut gern in die englische Version rein und falls doch jemals Interesse an der deutschen besteht, sagt einfach Bescheid :)

They call him circus whore. Rumors spread like wildfire at the German Hansen Circus. At the center of it all stands Nikita, an aerialist from Russia and the most beautiful boy Josh has ever seen. And according to people, the go-to boy when you're craving more than just a show. Growing up in a family where homosexuality isn't just forbidden but a sin, Josh is torn. Still, he can't help but wonder: who is Nikita beneath all the rumors? And worse--what if he wants to find out?
