Sixteen-year-old Flora arrives in Haven's Ward at night, her reclusive great uncle's screwy idea. They've never met, but thanks to her mother's odd stories, Flora's not surprised when a seven-foot man wearing a bowler hat mounts the train platform and bows awkwardly. It's going to be a very weird year. Great Uncle Rudyard drives a red hearse. His home is four stories high, juts out at strange angles, and smells...awful. He has twenty cats, all named Ticket. And then there's the stone archway in the garden. Flora swears she can hear music whenever she's near it, but Rudyard insists it's only her imagination. Past the secrets of Flora's new surroundings, an unexpected show awaits her. Prince of Freaks is the first book in the eight novel series 'Morningstar Circus for Lost Souls'.
