The Carnival of Borrowed Fates

Some fates are borrowed. Others are won. All come with a price.

Journalist Jason Tarne is on the trail of a carnival that shouldn't exist. It appears in two places at once, and those who play its games are never the same. When he confronts the enigmatic Barker, he's offered a deal: see the real Carnival and get the truth, but he will never write his story.

What Jason finds is a nightmare of cosmic proportions, where reality folds in on itself and games are played for pieces of your soul. To understand it, he must play himself. But in a place that feeds on human desire, the greatest risk isn't losing...it's winning, and discovering what the Carnival truly takes as its prize.
