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?
