Voyager 1, the space probe launched in the 1970's, contained a golden disc of mankind's most profound musical works and images of our planet, for if someone should find it. It has flown uninterrupted through our universe for the past 560 years, passing out of our solar system and flying towards the stars. Mankind has long since been destroyed by its own petty squabbles. All art has been lost, save that preserved by this timeless golden disc. Flying alone through the emptiness, the last remnants of a dead civilisation, carrying some of its greatest treasures.

Born with a damaged heart, Leanna Weston has lived a sheltered life with little chance at adventure. When she hears that Finvarra's Circus is coming to her small town, she sneaks off to witness the magic first hand, sure that this is her only chance at experiencing true magic-even if the frightening rumors about the heartless Ringmaster, Finvarra, are true. Caught by Finvarra, Leanna is given one chance at survival: she must join the circus. As slowly she becomes part of the strange family, Leanna learns that there is more than magic to this circus, but an ancient curse that has tied Finvarra's life to its rings. If the circus fails, he dies. Leanna vows to save the circus, but when a ruthless enemy emerges, set on destroying it and Finvarra, will Leanna be able to save them both, or will her broken heart fail her just when she needs it most?
