So much was sacrificed to wipe out the Immortals. Yet, decades after their fall, the Immortals' curse remains.
Sickness, storms, earthquakes tearing apart whole regions, seasons gone forever...
In the middle of all this chaos, only the Circus District seems to thrive.
It is said to welcome all who have lost their home to the wrath of nature, to be a community where all are equal, where magic is praised and shared.
This is what is said.
But only those lucky enough to reach the Circus District get to put its promise to the test.
This is the BETA version of The Circus District. If you are interested in this story but would rather read the final version, it should be published by the end of 2026 (the digital version will be free).

Yet again Darkness is hungry for a war to end it all, but Light will always have troops at the ready. One girl. One kingdom. Eleven friends. Four Elements. No biggie.

I'm Melody, hybrid freak, nice to meet you, strange muggle who I know nothing about. I used to be like you, cluelessly ignorant and uninvolved with the outside world. You know, they have a big, yellow ball of gas in the sky. Weird.
Anyway my life became something out of a bad Si-Fi movie, and no, Nicolas Cage isn't in it (sadly).
There are two forces in the world, Light and Darkness, and when you side with Light, Darkness gets a stick up its ass and wants you to suffer. My friends and I, we roll with Light, you must know where that leads....
I have a kingdom to learn, powers to master, loud friends to keep in line, a boy that I'm messed up over, and above it all, Darkness to show whose boss.
Not as easy as you might think, but this is MY story, and I know how it ends.
Being a loyal follower of Light shows me the beauty in life and the devastation it can cause. Don't get me wrong, I love Light, but Darkness makes it hard to stay and fight.

Melody is weird. She's childish. She's awkward. And she's got boy issues she needs to work out.
Mel will face evil like no other, but can she do it? Will the scales of Light and Darkness finally be tipped? How can one girl make a difference?
This is Melody, a corky teenager, and she wants you to read her story. Like now. Enjoy!
