The 12th Midnight Circus

When the clock strikes midnight, the circus awakens.

The 12th Midnight Circus is no ordinary fair-it's a realm of magic, mystery, and danger. Every performer is bound by an ancient pact, their powers peaking at the stroke of twelve, when the veil between the ordinary and extraordinary thins. But beneath the dazzling lights and breathtaking performances lies a sinister truth: no one joins the circus willingly, and no one leaves unscathed.
Evelyn Nightshade, a talented illusionist with a dark past, has spent years searching for a way to escape the circus's hold. But her plans are upended when Kael Ember, a fiery newcomer with a rebellious streak, arrives, claiming to have a connection to the circus's origins. Together, they unravel the secrets of the circus's magic, only to discover the price of freedom might be higher than they imagined.
With the clock counting down to a catastrophic twelfth midnight, Evelyn and Kael must decide: will they fight to break the circus's curse, or will they embrace its magic to protect the ones they love?
