A steam-powered nightmare world that demands perfection - physical and mental, where no deviance from the norm is tolerated. A culture of circuses that has each circus waging guerrilla war on all rivals to secure the safety of its own employees. A fiesty lion tamer called Lynx belongs to this world, the world of the great Circus Mandragora. This tour season, she senses unrest in the earth and blood on the air - but what she never saw coming was the appearance of a fiery-eyed London girl in the crowd one night. Lynx is used to getting what she wants... but does she want a forbidden bond that could add to the danger surrounding her beloved circus this season? Even worse, with sabotaged props, dying performers, and vague prophecies of doom, is it possible that a girl is the least of Lynx's worries?

No matter which planet you reside on, it is known that one must meet with the Goddess Of Beginnings to find out who they are soul tied to. Once you know, you must then leave your planet and start a new life with them. Refusal will end up with banishment to the planet Plut, an ice covered wasteland where none have survived. Lynx comes from a planet where females are honorable and could never refuse the word of the Goddess. But she would rather do anything else than find out who her soul is tied to and leave the one she has already fallen for, Seren. They both plan to run away until her mother forces her to meet with the Goddess of Beginnings and find her mate. She finds out she is tied to a male named Scorpius on the planet Ocura, which is said to be one of the most dangerous planets to inhabit.

14 parts Ongoing Mature
The moon is rising, the show is about to begin... but not everyone will make it out alive. The Lunar Circus isn't a place for children, or anyone faint of heart. There are no tickets, and it only appears under the light of the full moon. This is no ordinary show-it's a spectacle where humans come to witness creatures from fairy tales and nightmares: a bearded mermaid, a vampire contortionist, a werewolf cannonball, and more marvels hiding in the shadows. But as the audience gathers, people begin to vanish. Harrow, the fae ringmaster, is struggling to keep his cursed performers under control, and the danger long whispered about threatens to spill out from behind the curtains. The arrival of a new star, Seraphina, only makes things worse. As she dazzles under the spotlight, suspicion grows. Harrow can't deny his fascination with her-but he can't ignore the fact that she might be the key to the disappearances.
