"How can you possibly love me?" He asked as he trailed a finger down my cheek. "I don't care if you are an Unfortunate I can't deny my feelings" I whispered. His silver eyes bore into me as he leaned closer to me. His cold lips grazed my ears as he whispered: "Even if I'm a Circus Freak?" As a young girl my mother always told me to stay away from the Unfortunates. In my society, we are split into two groups accepted and unfortunate. Many Unfortunates were apart of a huge circus called Cirque de Unfortunato. It was said that their conditions were horrible. I never really had an interest in the unfortunates. That was until I met a certain moody, silver-eyed Circus Freak. Disclaimer: I do not own any pictures or videos used in this book. All pictures or videos belong to their rightful owners.

After attending years of public school and for reasons unknown, sixteen-year-old Evelyn Hollyander AKA Evie, finds herself suddenly "dumped" at Pinehurst, a stuffy private school for the Mageia—the children of magic. Gone are the days of Geometry and Keyboarding, Evie’s schedule now consists of classes that teach defensive spells and charms against the deadly creatures of the Underworld. She discovers that her magical abilities are far more pronounced than that of her classmates, or even her teachers for that matter. She's forced into sixth period PE, boys only “boot-camp” for Slayers; and is taunted by some of the students for being the only female Slayer—ever! But life isn’t all that bad. She has a ten alarm crush on Antonio, a hunky nineteen year old Slayer who is assigned as her personal trainer. She’s ecstatic until she realizes that Antonio can also communicate with her telepathically—translation: he can hear every steamy thought she has for him. After learning that her father has been captured and is being held hostage in Hell of all places, Evie seeks help from Antonio and Havoc, a feisty pixie who Evie’s sure is evil incarnate. The three of them journey into the Underworld, battle two-headed vipers, a troll, and spiders that are big enough to suck your face off. She’s propositioned by the Lord of the Underworld himself. Proving more powerful than expected, Evie is an acquisition he must have—as well as his ticket to the Outer World. The bargain: the safety of her friends and the knowledge to save her father's life in exchange for an unthinkable price.
