Beneath the shimmering lights of Cirque Éclipse, every smile hides a secret-and every illusion bleeds with truth.
Alouette has always danced on the edge of wonder and danger, her performances blurring the line between reality and reverie. But when Luka, the quiet stagehand with kind eyes, begins to change, she feels the world around her shift-fracturing in ways she can't explain.
Behind Luka's face lurks something ancient. Something patient.
And as shadows coil through the circus tents and whispers of old gods rise again, Alouette finds herself caught in a web of love, deceit, and something far darker than either.
Because every mirror hides a crack.
And through those cracks, something is watching.
