Finally, with the same tormented voice he breathes, "Are you yet captivated?" The flames lower and as one the crowd roars and cheers. And with grace the ringleader pulls the hat from his head exposing his dark curls. He bows, the flames rising to my collarbones and the noise becomes nearly deafening." Eris Lilith runs away from home in search of a new start. She finds the circus and joins against the will of the ring leader who is watching for any mistake so as to throw her from the moving train. But there is something almost magical about this mysterious circus, and Eris is determined to get to the bottom of it. Even if it means seducing, threatening or even harming someone. She didn't run away from home to get abused again. She is fighting back this time and she is here to stay.
