The Malfus Midnight Carnival is a prison disguised as a spectacle, trapping performers in gilded chains of cruelty and control.
Blaine Maledane has spent his life under its rule, forced into servitude by his ruthless uncle, Luther Maledane. A fearless biker and trick performer, Blaine harbors a seething hatred for those who stole his freedom. Then comes Ariella Levine-Luther's newest creation, a doll-like performer trained through pain and obedience. Beneath her eerie grace lies a quiet, mounting fury that Blaine recognizes all too well.
At first, he resents her. But as their bond deepens into something dark and obsessive, Blaine takes vengeance into his own hands-eliminating their tormentors one by one.
With only the monstrous ringmaster left, Ariella must face the truth: Blaine's love may have freed her, but has it turned him into something even worse than the man they swore to destroy?
The Carnival will burn. But who will survive the flames?
